Independence Run in Police 2026

Get ready for the most white-and-red start in the region! The Independence Run in Police is an event that combines a passion for sport with paying tribute to history—all in an atmosphere of incredible unity and joyful celebration 🏃. This isn’t just a race; it’s a show of energy from the residents of Police and nearby towns, who on 11 November turn the city streets into a river of runners in national colors! 💨

Typically, participants take on a distance of 10 or 5 km, making it a race accessible to everyone—from professionals fighting for fractions of a second to entire families with children who want to celebrate this special day actively.

On this holiday, Police takes on a special glow, and after the run it’s worth taking the opportunity to see the city in its festive attire:

Feel the spirit of community: the moment of singing the national anthem at the start, when hundreds of runners stand shoulder to shoulder, is a moment that guarantees goosebumps even before the first step 🎶.

The Pomeranian Dukes’ Castle: A Renaissance seat of the former Griffin dynasty. It’s worth stepping into the courtyards, seeing the clock tower and the Bell Tower, from which you can enjoy a great panorama of the city.

Mieczysław Karłowicz Philharmonic: The building’s form resembles an ice palace and it won the prestigious Mies van der Rohe Award (the architectural Oscar). Even if you’re not going to a concert, step inside—the white foyer makes a stunning impression.

Traditional recovery: 11 November is your day to try St. Martin’s croissants and goose. A meal like that after 5 kilometers is pure pleasure and a well-earned reward 🥐.

It’s a race where the medal at the finish line has double the value—sporting achievement and pride in being part of a great white-and-red family … ✨ See you at the start, so we can run for independence together! 🏁
