Bieg Młodego Patrioty 2026

Bieg Młodego Patrioty is a short race for children and youth in Gliwice, held as part of Poland’s National Independence Day events. It begins in Chopin Park at 10:00 AM, intended as a symbolic run rather than a long or competitive road race. Any child or young person may participate; the organizers do not require advance registration. The course covers short distances, suitable for the family-holiday atmosphere and accessible to younger runners. Participants are encouraged to wear white and red. The event has attracted nearly 300 children. All participants receive a commemorative medal and a souvenir race number, making the day feel more like a shared patriotic observance than a results-focused competition.
