Polkowice Half Marathon 2027

Do you want to take on the classic half-marathon distance (21.0975 km) on a course that’s perfect for fast running and smashing personal bests? The Polkowice Half Marathon in Polkowice is an incredibly dynamic, superbly organized running event that every year attracts long-distance enthusiasts from all over Lower Silesia and beyond 🏅! The race route is flat, entirely asphalt, and set along the city streets, which—combined with the residents’ loud support and excellent logistical organization—creates ideal conditions to fight for every second on the clock 🏁.

Polkowice, known as the heart of Poland’s Copper Basin, is perfectly located and very well connected thanks to the S3 expressway. From Lubin you’ll get here in just 15 minutes, from Głogów in 20 minutes, from Legnica in half an hour, and from Wrocław or Zielona Góra in a little over an hour 🚗. Once you proudly cross the finish line with a heavy copper medal around your neck, the area will offer you brilliant ways to enjoy some well-earned rest and recovery:

Watery relaxation for tired legs with the family: After covering more than 21 kilometers, your muscles will be begging for a break. The absolute hit in Polkowice is Aquapark Polkowice 🌊. It’s one of the largest and most popular recreation and pool complexes in the region. A variety of saunas, whirlpools, water jets, and brine pools are an ideal, proven way to recover fast and have a great time with your loved ones.

A romantic, history-tracing walk for two: Take your other half to nearby Głogów 🏰. A stroll through the charming Old Town, gradually rebuilt over the years, a visit to the Dukes of Oleśnica Castle, or a climb up the impressive town hall tower is a great idea for a lazy afternoon and a calm walk-off of your post-run soreness.

A trip to the capital of Lower Silesian Baroque: Visit nearby Legnica and take a walk through the beautiful City Park or see the monumental Piast Castle 👑. The city’s architecture can be breathtaking and provides a perfect backdrop for souvenir photos with your medal.

A copper-colored calorie feast: With such a huge energy expenditure, you need to seriously replenish your glycogen stores 🤔! Pop into a local restaurant for a proper Lower Silesian meal—order traditional, hearty ślepe niebo (braised pork with dried fruit) with Silesian dumplings, homemade pierogi with a thick sauce, or a crispy, giant cutlet with new potatoes and cabbage.

Find the right breathing rhythm, pace your effort minute by minute, and report to this copper start line … 🏁 Polkowice is waiting for your lightning-fast pace!
