The Night Run 10K is one of the most atmospheric running events in Poland. Held in the heart of Krakow, it attracts thousands of running enthusiasts eager to experience the city in a completely different and extraordinary way – at night, under the glow of lanterns and illuminated monuments.
This is a race that goes beyond ordinary competition – it’s an evening encounter with history, architecture, and the unique spirit of Krakow. In recent years, the start and finish have been located at the Main Market Square – right in the vibrant center of the Old Town. The course has led runners through the city’s most scenic and iconic spots: Floriańska Street, around Wawel Castle, through Kazimierz, along the Vistula boulevards, and across the Father Bernatek Footbridge. In 2025, during the OSHEE Night Run, participants even had the chance to run through the inner courtyard of Wawel Castle.
Since its first edition in 2014, the Night Run has steadily gained popularity, becoming a beloved and iconic event accompanying the Cracovia Marathon. Runners return not only for the athletic challenge but also for the unforgettable atmosphere – cheering crowds, music, light displays, and the vibrant buzz of the city provide a one-of-a-kind backdrop for nighttime racing. The nighttime setting gives this run its distinctive character – glowing streets and historic landmarks create a scene that stays with you.
It’s the perfect event for both profesional athletes and those who looking to enjoy the joy of running in an extraordinary setting. The Night Run is a tribute to Krakow – a city with a soul that reveals its most magical face after dark.
