Suszecki Running Festival 2026

Get ready to start in an exceptionally atmospheric, family-friendly event full of positive energy! 

Suszecki Running Festival in the Suszec commune is an event that proves smaller towns can host a running celebration at the highest level. It’s a perfect alternative to huge, anonymous mass races – here, Silesian hospitality, passion, and a wonderful atmosphere rule.

The festival offers varied distances, so everyone will find something for themselves. Usually, runners can take on a half marathon (21 km), a fast ten (10 km) or a shorter distance 5 km, and lovers of walking with poles set off in droves on the Nordic Walking route. The organizers never forget the youngest, putting on emotion-packed kids’ races.

Once you cross the finish line with a smile on your face and collect your commemorative medal, Suszec and the surrounding area invite you to a well-deserved rest and to discover local highlights:

Traditional Silesian hospitality on a plate: The Suszec festival is famous for its excellent recovery facilities. After burning hundreds of calories, a bowl of hot homemade soup, a thick slice of bread with lard, or local cake baked by the local ladies tastes simply incredible and immediately restores your strength v🍲🍞.

Pszczyna Forests: If after the run your legs need a calm walk in silence, the forest complexes surrounding Suszec are a bullseye. Former hunting grounds of the Pszczyna princes hide beautiful old oaks and pines, and the air here smells amazing 🌲.

Wooden architecture of the region: In Suszec itself and the surrounding villages (such as Mizerów or Radostowice), you can come across charming historic roadside shrines and traces of old rural Upper Silesian buildings that give the area an idyllic feel 🌾🏡.

A stone’s throw from Pszczyna: Since Suszec borders Pszczyna directly, after the run you can easily extend your weekend getaway. A visit to the local Prince’s Castle or the Bison Show Farm is a brilliant plan for the afternoon 🏰🦌.

Suszecki Running Festival is an event that recharges your batteries for a long time. It’s a blend of local identity, sporting competition, and pure joy of movement among people for whom running is above all great fun and a way to connect … ✨ Feel the unique running vibe in Suszec! 🏁❤️
