Piotrkowski Night Half Marathon 2026

Piotrkowski Night Half Marathon is one of the oldest and most atmospheric running events in the Łódź region. Here, in the heart of the former Crown Tribunal, sports competition merges with the unique atmosphere of the night city 🏛️. Competitors tackle the distance of 21.097 km (certified route), and for those who prefer shorter challenges, there's an accompanying run of 5 km💨. Running under the lantern lights through historic alleys and modern avenues of Piotrków is an experience that stays in memory for a long time, and the cheering of residents along the way provides a boost even in the last kilometers ✨.

Once you cross the finish line and proudly hang the medal around your neck, Piotrków Trybunalski (just 45 minutes from Łódź and Bełchatów) invites you for a well-deserved rest 🏰:

Old Town: The Piotrków market is a cinematic gem (the movie "Vabank" was filmed here). It's an ideal place for couples for a night walk among historic tenements and a visit to one of the cozy cafes ☕.

Royal Castle in Piotrków: Currently a museum, this is where Polish parliamentary tradition was born. Families with children will be delighted by the chance to see the old parliamentary halls and armory 🛡️.

Brewing Museum: Piotrków has rich brewing traditions. A visit to the Brewery Education Center is a great option to learn how the golden beverage was brewed in the past (and, of course, enjoy a non-alcoholic tasting for drivers!) 🍺.

Piotrków Zalewajka: Be sure to try the local version of this soup – hearty, made with natural sourdough, and with plenty of potatoes and bacon. It's the best recovery meal to get any half marathoner back on their feet 🥣!
