5th Szczecin Independence Run 2023 ‒ the registration process has begun!

It is time to plan a sports event to celebrate Poland’s regaining independence. As every year, we are inviting you to participate in Szczecin Independence Run. This year, the route will be set through the riverside boulevards and harbour areas. Registration started on 12 September at 12.00.

There has never been a run like this before. A completely new route has been set for a special occasion. During this year’s 5th Szczecin Independence Run, runners will be competing in industrial port areas, covering a 5-km distance set in a unique scenery. Initially, the route will lead the runners along Szczecin boulevards. Then, they will run towards the Bosmanat building at Gdynia Boulevard, then back towards the North East Marina on Grodzka Island, round the building of the yacht port and along Tadeusza Wendy Street, to reach the premises of the Gryf Logistics Centre. Once there, they will be traversing the Bulgarian Quay, to eventually return to the hoisting equipment (‘Dźwigozaury’) via the former Wendy Street surrounded by historic buildings.

The competition will take place on 11 November at 15.00, with a maximum of 300 competitors allowed on the start line. A competition for children has also be scheduled and will start on the same day at 13.30. Young runners will compete in different age groups and at different distances.
