A short distance, relaxed atmosphere, nighttime setting, and a magical finish line illuminated by colorful lights - this is a brief description of the Night Run series, held as part of the IRONMAN Poland weekends. This year’s races have already taken place in Warsaw and Gdynia, gathering record-breaking numbers of runners in both cities. On August 30th, we await the final edition of the series this season - Night Run Poznań.
Runners will tackle a flat and fast 5-kilometer course, starting and finishing at the Poznań International Fairgrounds. Importantly, the course has been certified by the Polish Athletics Association, meaning official personal bests can be set here. An additional attraction is that participants will cross the same finish line that, two days later, will welcome the competitors of the Enea IRONMAN 70.3 Poznań.
Each runner will receive a colorful LED wristband in their race pack, as well as a finisher's medal upon crossing the finish line. The start of Poznań’s Night Run is scheduled for 22:00.
Night Run is primarily about having fun and entertainment, but it also aims to educate. We want to raise awareness about runner safety after dark. This is one of the reasons why each participant will receive an LED wristband in their race pack.
Piotr Jakóbik, spokesperson for IRONMAN Poland
