The event in a few words

Apparently, all roads lead to Rome Łódź, and that's exactly where you have an appointment 📅. The Doz Marathon of Łódź returns this year with plenty of options, a Marathon solo, duo or 6 in a relay, a 10 km and also a children's race 🧒. A course through the heart of the Polish city, where you can explore the streets and discover all its secrets 🤫. You are expected there in April and in Poland, it's best not to forget your mid-season clothes 🧣. Expect temperatures between 4° and 13°, so no tank tops this time 🥶.

In Poland 🇵🇱, a marathon is meant to be shared, unlike your favorite cake 🤭. As 42.195 km can be more enjoyable together, here, you have the option to split your course ✂️. With your favorite duo 🤝, embark on a "Half & Half relay", where you split this challenge in half and fairly share these kilometers, without leaving more to the other 🙂‍↔️. At least, no arguments or jealousy, everyone will agree. For those who are even more challenge-crazy AND have lots of friends 👯‍♀️, the "EKIDEN relay" is for you. You have the option to divide the course into 6, with equal distances or not 🤷‍♀️, it's up to you... Once on the course, each member must do their best to pass the baton 🪄 to the next! Of course, you always have the option to complete this distance alone, like a grown-up 🧍. Whether you're an experienced runner or just there for the fun, the city also offers a 10 km discovery 🏃. An ideal distance to explore the beautiful city and take on a good challenge. The little ones are also invited! 🎉 For children from 4 to 16 years old, a race is organized near the Atlas Arena 🏟️. 200 m, 300 m, 750 m, and 900 m for the older ones. No one is left out here 😉, such an organization is perfect for the whole family 🧑‍🧑‍🧒. 

After such a race, rest is best 😴, but resting while discovering a country is even better! ⭐️ Łódź, third largest city in Poland, is located in the center of Poland 📍. Though unknown to the general public, it is astonishing and full of sights to see. More and more, art 🖼️ and culture are developing in this country. Yes, vacations also mean culture! In its streets, you will find many monuments such as Manufaktura, an unusual place worth a visit, where there are stores 🛍️, a pool 🏊, and relaxation areas! Psssst don’t forget to visit its museum 🏛️ to better understand what happened there. Another place, the Museum of the City is also a must-see activity ✨. But we understand, museums aren't for everyone. In Łódź, just strolling through the city 🌆 is enough to admire the beautiful buildings. The Piotrkowska Street, even if you might not be able to pronounce it 🤣, is an architectural site not to be missed. Otherwise, a breath of fresh air at Zródliska Park 🌳, surrounded by greenery and lounging on a deck chair, that's all we ask for! You can also fill your belly 😋 with culinary specialties that will amaze you. Żurek, a soup in bread? 🥖 Yes indeed, it's Polish, but it's also super delicious. If you prefer something sweet, no worries, jam-filled donuts 🍓 are always comforting. So go to a bakery and ask for Pączki, and you will be pleased 🤭.

Come on, don't wait any longer, choose your distance and those accompanying you and join this event promising a great experience! 👀

4 reasons to join this race

Lodz, a city rich in history 📚
Did you know? After the war, the city of Warsaw was completely destroyed, so the Polish film industry 🎞️ moved to Lodz. In 1948, they built 🏗️ the National Film School and many studios. This city has since seen the birth of many well-known Polish directors 🇵🇱, such as Andrzej Wajda or Roman Polanski. The city has also played its part as its setting 🖼️ appears in several films such as Inland Empire by David Lynch.
A festive atmosphere 🥳
Indeed, on this course, many volunteers are present to cheer you on. To believe us, just look at the photos 📸 from previous editions! Costumes, music 🎶 and lots and lots of encouragement! So don't panic, you won't be left alone for your race, but rather pushed by the cheering crowd to the finish line 🎊.
A race with sharing 🤝
As you can see, this marathon can be shared with whoever you want! You can organize to be a strong duo ⚡️ at the finish line. But you can also share these kilometers by 6! Imagine sharing that with your group of friends 🔗. It’s an incredible experience and you don’t see that often!
A dynamic city 🚀
In the 20th century, this city was known for its increased textile production 👕, being a very important industrial center for the country. Everything was centered at Manufaktura, a giant factory 🏭, in the heart of the city. However, World War II and the decline of the textile industry brought everything to a halt. But not to be discouraged 🫵, the 2000s revitalized this place and today it has become an important historical and cultural space 🙌, as well as one of the largest shopping centers in Poland. A little detour is worth it! 🔥
