Strzegomska Twelve 2026

Do you fancy a run with a unique character, where sporting rivalry unfolds in the shadow of powerful history and the monumental stone industry? Strzegomska Twelve in Strzegom is an event that has become a permanent fixture in the calendar of Lower Silesian runners and is famous for its excellent, almost family-like atmosphere 🏅! Participants are in for a unique, unusual distance of 12 kilometers, and the route runs along the city’s asphalt streets, but its greatest advantage is that it lets you feel the vibe of Lower Silesia at every step, and at the finish line runners are greeted with a heavy, unique medal – often made from real Strzegom granite 🏁!

After proudly crossing the finish line, these areas of the Sudetic Foreland will offer you great ways to spend the rest of the weekend:

Visiting the granite pearl on site: While in Strzegom, be sure to visit the monumental Minor Basilica of St. Peter and Paul 🏰. This mighty Gothic church, built of broken stone and granite, makes a stunning impression with its architecture and interior. A walk around the market square is the perfect, effortless way to loosen up tired legs.

Military secrets with the family: Head to nearby Świdnica (just a dozen or so minutes away) to see the incredible wooden Church of Peace, a UNESCO-listed site 🌲. For kids, a huge attraction in Świdnica will also be the Museum of Weapons and Military Memorabilia and a stroll around the charming, restored market square.

A granite dose of energy: After tackling a demanding 12 kilometers, your body will be loudly calling for a proper meal 🤔! In local restaurants, be sure to order traditional, hearty Silesian classics: Silesian dumplings with aromatic beef roast and braised red cabbage, homemade pierogi with a thick sauce, or crispy Hungarian-style potato pancake, which will get every runner back on their feet.

Find the right pace, get set for great fun, and report to this exceptional Lower Silesian start … 🏁 Strzegom is waiting to write another running story together with you!
