Parkrun 2023

Are hangovers and running a 5K route on a Saturday morning mutually exclusive? Given Poland's vibrant party scene and high alcohol consumption rates, events like this make us wonder if it's all the same people—or if there's a whole separate population of super healthy marathon runners living amongst us that only come out bright and early in the mornings, and then go back into hiding in the later hours of the day. Regardless of which category you fall into, you can join this free weekly event and meet some local running enthusiasts while stretching your legs or shedding that hangover.

Now in its 20th year, Parkrun Wrocław will top 500 editions in early 2024, and has created a tight weekend running community with thousands of participants. In order to join, you need to register the first time, after that just show up Saturday morning with your user code. Runners meet each Saturday morning at Opatowice Weir (ul. Braci Gierymskich 160) and set off promptly at 09:00; the trail is unpaved and follows the Oder River towards Zwierzyniecka Bridge, turning back at the gas pipeline over the river (the start and finish are the same spot). Each participant is timed, but everyone runs at their own pace and the event is open to people of all levels.
