Half Marathon of the Miasteczkowskie Forests 2026

Forget hot asphalt and city smog! Half Marathon of the Miasteczkowskie Forests (held near Miasteczko Śląskie) is an event created for runners who love the scent of pine needles and soft forest paths. It’s the perfect stop between road races and a typical trail ultra – the course is fast, yet it gives your joints a break thanks to the natural surface 💨.

The 21.097 km distance leads through picturesque woodland areas of the Świerklaniec and Miasteczko Śląskie forest districts. Here you can feel true freedom, hearing only the rhythm of your own breath and the birds’ song.

Although Miasteczko Śląskie may seem like a quiet town, the area hides real gems worth visiting after you cross the finish line:

Historic Wooden Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary: A true treasure of 17th-century sacred architecture. Even if you’re not a fan of monuments, its construction and atmosphere make a huge impression ⛪.

Park in Świerklaniec: located just a stone’s throw from Miasteczko, once called the “Little Versailles.” Although the palace no longer exists, the vast park with sculptures by Emmanuel Frémiet, fountains, and the Cavalier’s Palace is an ideal place for a restorative walk 🏰.

Nakło-Chechło Reservoir: If the weather cooperates, it’s the region’s residents’ favorite place to unwind. You can relax by the water, and even jump in for a quick cool-down for your legs in the lake – the best natural cryotherapy! 🌊.

It’s a run with soul, organized with great passion by the local community, where every participant feels like a guest of honor … ✨ See you under the canopy of the Miasteczko pines! 🏁
