9th Wiesław Maniak International Memorial

The Wiesław Maniak International Memorial is a recurring event honouring Szczecin’s greatest sprinting legend, an Olympic medallist in Tokyo in 1964 and European champion in Budapest in 1966.

Held at the Wiesław Maniak Athletics Stadium, the competition has for years attracted leading athletes from around the world to Szczecin. Memorial events feature medallists, finalists and participants from the biggest athletics competitions, including the Olympic Games, World Championships and European Championships.

The Memorial is not only a top-level sporting spectacle, but also a true celebration of athletics in Szczecin. Every year, crowds of supporters fill the stands, and the event’s unique atmosphere makes it popular with both adults and children.

Combining international prestige, sporting excitement and local identity, the meeting holds a special place on the Polish athletics calendar. Today, the Wiesław Maniak International Memorial is one of the most important athletics meetings in Poland and continues to strengthen its position internationally. The 2023, 2024 and 2025 editions brought the event wide recognition and very positive feedback from the sporting community, supporters, volunteers, partners and cooperating institutions.

Since 2024, the meeting has been held as part of the World Athletics Continental Tour Bronze Level Meetings.
