Owl Run 2027

Want to feel the magic of nighttime racing? The Night Owl Run through the streets of Dzierżoniów is an exceptionally atmospheric event in Lower Silesia, offering a fast and flat road course (usually over 5 km or 10 km). Running after dark, in the glow of streetlights and to the loud cheers of residents, helps you smash personal bests and guarantees an amazing atmosphere. You can easily get to Dzierżoniów by car or train, including from Wrocław, Świdnica or Wałbrzych 🚗.

When the finish-line emotions have settled, and a commemorative medal is hanging around your neck, it’s worth staying in the area a bit longer and discovering the most interesting corners of Dzierżoniów and the neighboring Owl Mountains:

A walk through Dzierżoniów’s historic center: See the beautifully restored Market Square, the mighty medieval defensive walls, and the former Rutika Synagogue, which take on a special charm after dark 🏙️.

A trip to the summit of Wielka Sowa: Go trekking to the highest peak of the Owl Mountains. The historic white observation tower there offers one of the most beautiful panoramas in Lower Silesia 🗼.

Uncovering the secrets of the Riese Complex: The nearby tunnels (e.g., Walim, Włodarz or Osówka) are legendary underground structures from World War II that fascinate both children and adults 🛠️.

A hearty meal for championship-level recovery: After burning calories at night, it’s time for something substantial. Local inns will treat you to traditional Silesian beef roulade with dumplings, homemade pierogi, or warming żurek 🍲.

Slip into your running shoes, spread your wings, and feel the nighttime energy on the Night Owl Run course!
