PKO Piekarski Half Marathon 2026

PKO Piekarski Half Marathon is one of the most atmospheric races in the region, attracting runners with its magical, evening aura. Starting after dusk, participants tackle a distance of 21.097 km, accompanied by the crisp night air and the cheering of local residents 💨. For those who prefer slightly shorter challenges, the Nightly Ten (approx. 10 km) is also organized, making the event accessible to a wide range of running enthusiasts. The route leads through the city's characteristic points, combining athletic effort with the industrial and spiritual landscape of Piekary ✨.

Once you cross the finish line illuminated by spotlights and collect your medal, Piekary Śląskie and the surrounding area (the heart of the GZM Metropolis) offer unique places for relaxation 🏰:

Hill of Liberation: This is a symbol of the city and a great place for a walk. The panorama of the entire Upper Silesia, especially at night or sunset, makes a great impression on couples and groups of friends 🔭.

Piekary Basilica and Calvary: Even if you're not pilgrims, a walk on the extensive, green calvary hills is an ideal way to unwind and regenerate after a loud start ⛪.

Gliwice Radio Tower: Located just a 20-minute drive from Piekary. It is the tallest wooden structure in Europe, beautifully illuminated after dark – a must-see for families and technology enthusiasts 🗼.

Silesian heaven in your mouth: After burning thousands of calories, be sure to try the traditional Silesian roulade with dumplings and red cabbage. This legendary dish tastes best right here, in local "mom's" restaurants 🍖!
