Bieg Niepodległości in Łódź is a Polish Independence Day road running event held on 11 November, the national holiday that marks the country regaining its independence in 1918. The programme centres on a 5 kilometre main run through the streets of Łódź, with a separate 5 kilometre Nordic Walking event setting off alongside it. Children's races, known as Biegi Dla Dzieci, round out the day and give younger runners their own start line. The event is organised by Lumi Sport, which handles entry and timing through its own website, and runners are advised to confirm the latest details there before race day.
