Three Kings Run in Łódź 2027

Want to combine sporting competition with a joyful, festive vibe? The Three Kings Run in Łódź is one of the most spectacular and cheerful running events in central Poland, officially opening the new running year.

Participants take on a fast, certified 5 km course that runs entirely along the representative and beautifully illuminated Piotrkowska Street. The table-flat profile is perfect for smashing personal bests, and the New Year atmosphere, loud cheers from Łódź locals, and hundreds of runners with paper crowns on their heads create an unforgettable vibe. Getting to the start in the very heart of Łódź is easy by car, train (to the modern Łódź Fabryczna station), or public transport 🚂.

After crossing the finish line and putting the unique commemorative medal around your neck, it’s worth spending the rest of the weekend in the city, because wintertime Łódź offers plenty of post-industrial attractions ideal for couples and families:

A walk through the illuminated Manufaktura: One of the largest cultural and entertainment centers in Europe, located in the former factory of Izrael Poznański. Winter light displays, a huge Christmas tree, and atmospheric red brick create a fantastic big-city vibe 🏭.

A visit to the modern Orientarium ZOO Łódź: An absolute hit for the whole family! The most modern complex in Europe lets you admire the fauna and flora of Southeast Asia, including giant Indian elephants and sharks from an underwater tunnel 🐘.

Magical Piotrkowska Street at night: After the run, it’s worth taking a relaxed stroll along this iconic promenade. Admire the magnificent eclectic tenement houses, drop into the artistic courtyard of Pasaż Róży, and seek out atmospheric restaurants hidden in gateways 🏙️.

Culinary recovery, Łódź style: After a winter effort, you need to properly recharge. Łódź’s food scene is known for brilliant burger joints, atmospheric pubs, and restaurants serving traditional, warming żurek or the famous local black dumplings 🍲.

Put on a royal crown, feel the incredible energy of the city, and start the year with a bang at the start line of the Three Kings Run!
