Time to start in one of the most atmospheric, fast, and electrifying races in the region 💪! The Ząbki Night Five is a unique event that brings sporting competition into a setting lit by city streetlights. When everyday emotions fade and the temperature becomes perfect for fast running, participants set off on a route full of nighttime magic. Runners can look forward to a super-flat, dynamic 5 km distance ⏱️, which is an absolute paradise for personal best hunters (so-called "PBs") and an ideal challenge for those who want to feel the unique evening vibe and the incredible, loud cheering of residents lining the streets.
Ząbki after dark takes on a unique atmosphere. After crossing the finish line in the glow of floodlights, picking up a beautiful reflective medal, and taking souvenir photos, you can plan an awesome weekend and nighttime celebration with your running crew or your other half 🥇:
Throw an afterparty in Warsaw’s Praga district – from Ząbki it’s just a short trip! The industrial Koneser Center or the atmospheric café-bars around Ząbkowska and Targowa Streets are perfect places to raise a toast at night to a successful start 🥂.
Go for a nighttime walk along the Vistula Boulevards – if after the race you still feel that sporting adrenaline, Warsaw’s modern riverside promenades with views of illuminated bridges and the PGE Narodowy stadium will make a huge impression on you 🌊.
Regenerate your muscles at the Municipal Sports Center in Ząbki – the next day after the night effort, be sure to visit the modern pool complex here to relax in the jacuzzi or sauna zone, which will brilliantly loosen up tired legs 🧖♂️.
Grab late-night street food or a hearty champions’ breakfast – after burning hundreds of calories in a nighttime sprint, a solid craft pizza, burger, or a rich morning breakfast in a Ząbki or Warsaw eatery will taste insanely good 🍽️.
Ząbki is phenomenally well connected to Warsaw – a suburban train takes passengers to Warszawa Wileńska station (where you can immediately transfer to the M2 metro line) in just 7 minutes! This means that in less than 30–40 minutes you’ll find yourself in the very heart of the capital. If, after a weekend full of excitement, you feel like heading out on a trip beyond the city, in about an hour by car you can reach the picturesque Zegrze Reservoir or the historic Pułtusk. Put on reflective gear, get ready for a fast pace, and light up the route of the Ząbki Night Five 👟!
