X Chełmski Bieg Niepodległości

On November 11, 2026, the city of Chełm will host TERMIN I MIEJSCE, an exciting running event that invites participants to explore the historical and scenic routes within this charming Polish town. The race starts at precisely 11:11 AM on Lwowska Street 21 in Chełm and concludes back at the same starting point.
Competitors can choose from two distances: a challenging 5 km course or an extended 10 km route, both of which wind through the heart of Chełm. The terrain features a mix of asphalt and cobblestone paths that meander past notable landmarks such as Aleja Żołnierzy I Armii Wojska Polskiego (Soldiers' Avenue), Hrubieszowska Street, Księdza Ignacego Skorupki Street, Lotnicza Street, Ignacego Mościckiego Street, and Wojsławicka Street.
The race day begins early with the opening of the registration desk at 9:00 AM. As the morning progresses, anticipation builds for the ceremonial start at 11:05 AM, followed by a prompt beginning of both races at 11:11 AM sharp. Participants will be treated to an engaging route that showcases Chełm's rich architectural heritage and vibrant atmosphere.
The event wraps up around noon with the conclusion of all race categories shortly after 12:21 PM. A brief ceremony honoring top finishers takes place from 12:30 PM until 12:40 PM, before the day’s festivities come to a close.
TERMIN I MIEJSCE promises an unforgettable experience for runners and spectators alike, offering not only competitive racing but also a chance to immerse oneself in Chełm's unique cultural landscape.
