Goleniów Independence Mile 2026

Ready for one of the fastest and most atmospheric races in the region? The Goleniów Independence Mile is a sporting tradition that draws crowds of speed-running enthusiasts 👟. The highlight of the program is the spectacular and dynamic 1-mile distance (1609 meters), but if you prefer longer challenges, a fast, certified course over 10 kilometers is also waiting for you. Goleniów is a smaller, charming town from which you can quickly— in under half an hour—reach the bustling Szczecin or Stargard 🚗!

After an exciting finish and picking up your commemorative medal, it’s time for some well-deserved relaxation. The area offers plenty of fantastic ways to spend the afternoon with family or your other half 😉:

A walk through the Goleniów Forest: The soothing greenery of this gigantic forest complex is the perfect place to unwind and take a calm stroll on tired legs 🌲.

A trip to Lake Dąbie: Located close to Goleniów, Poland’s third-largest lake is a great spot for a romantic sunset and a walk around the marina ⛵.

Visiting the Dukes of Pomerania Castle in Szczecin: A short drive to the regional capital will let you immerse yourselves in Renaissance history and admire the beautiful panorama of the Oder 🏛️.

Local treats: Be sure to drop by nearby Szczecin for the iconic Szczecin pasztecik with hot borscht, or try fish specialties from the Szczecin Lagoon 🐟.

Lace up your shoes tight, feel the incredible support of the crowd, and run your mile in Goleniów!
