Bieg Niepodległości RUNPOLAND, live.

A living white and red flag on Independence Day

Bieg Niepodległości RUNPOLAND is a 10 km road race through the centre of Poznań, held every year on 11 November, Poland's Independence Day.

The next Bieg Niepodległości RUNPOLAND is on Wednesday 11 November 2026, with the start at 11:11. It is organised by the RunPoland.org foundation. Participants run in white and red and line up before the start to form a large living flag of runners to mark Independence Day.

The race is 10 km on one course through the centre of Poznań, entirely on asphalt, certified by the Polish Athletics Association and marked every kilometre. Start and finish are on Grunwaldzka street, just before Śniadeckich, and the halfway turn is level with Cmentarna street. The time limit is 100 minutes from crossing the start line, and the start goes in waves by start zone.

Participants must be 16 on race day. The standard race pack includes a hand cast medal, a St. Martin's croissant, a recovery drink and a bib with a timing chip. Pack pick up is at the race office in Poznań the day before and on race day. There is also a virtual option for people who run their 10 km elsewhere during race week.

On the same day Poznań celebrates the name day of Święty Marcin street with a parade near the Imperial Castle, so the city centre is busy all day. Streets on the course are closed for the race, usually in the morning.

On Livebib you can follow a participant who chooses to share their own live position from the phone they carry. This is not the organiser's timing, and official results come from the organiser.
