Otwocki bieg niepodległości

The race is scheduled for Wednesday 11 November 2026, Polish Independence Day. The 5 km main race is listed with an 11:00 start, and the children's races are held as part of the same morning.

The event is staged in Otwock in the Mazowieckie region of Poland. The exact start and finish area is published by the organiser MOKTIS on its event page, and runners should check there before travelling because town-centre courses can shift slightly from year to year.

A 5 km on town streets is one of the most accessible distances there is, and this event is a local community race rather than a large city marathon, so it suits newcomers. It is worth building up to the distance over a few weeks beforehand and arriving early enough to warm up.

The race falls on a national holiday, so public transport runs to a Sunday or holiday timetable and some streets near the course may be closed for a short period. Plan to arrive in Otwock well before 11:00 and allow extra time for parking and walking to the start.

The MOKTIS event page for the Otwocki bieg niepodległości carries the most recent information, including any updates to the start time or course. The registration platform page also shows current entry details.
