On April 10–12, Łódź will once again host one of Poland’s most important running events—the DOZ Łódź Marathon. The event will culminate on Sunday, April 12, when thousands of runners from Poland and abroad will take to the city’s streets, and Poland’s top long-distance runners will compete for medals at the Polish Marathon Championships.
The event program includes not only the marathon, but also a 10-kilometer run, relay races, and competitions for children and teenagers. Numerous side events will take place simultaneously, including an expo, a family picnic at Atlas Arena, and health-promotion initiatives such as the Senior Zone, featuring free health screenings and consultations.
The event will result in temporary changes to traffic patterns and public transportation services. Detailed information about traffic disruptions and detours is available through the city’s official channels and on social media.
– The DOZ Łódź Marathon is not only a thrilling sporting event but also a celebration for the entire city. We are delighted to once again welcome the top athletes and thousands of runners from around the world. I encourage all Łódź residents to come out and cheer on the runners, but also to familiarize themselves in advance with the changes to traffic patterns and public transportation. This will ensure that this special weekend runs smoothly for all of us,” emphasizes Hanna Zdanowska.
“A marathon is a distance that always brings with it a lot of excitement, and it’s hard to pinpoint clear favorites. In Łódź, we’ll see the top Polish runners competing for championship titles. We’re counting on great support from the residents and a world-class sporting atmosphere,” says Jacek Chmiel, the race director.
