Strzegomska Dwunastka

Crave a race with a character all its own, where sport meets the shadow of a powerful story and a monumental stone industry? The Strzegomska Dwunastka in Strzegom is an event that has firmly earned its place on the calendars of runners in Lower Silesia and is renowned for its perfect, almost familial atmosphere 🏅! Participants will discover a unique, offbeat distance of 12 kilometers, and the course winds through the city’s paved streets, but its greatest asset is that it lets you feel the Lower Silesia vibe with every step, and at the finish runners are welcomed by a heavy, one-of-a-kind medal – often crafted from true Strzegom granite 🏁 !

After proudly crossing the finish line, these regions of the Sudeten Foothills will offer you fantastic ways to spend the rest of the weekend :

A Granite Pearl On Site : While in Strzegom, don’t miss visiting the monumental minor basilica dedicated to St. Peter and St. Paul 🏰. This powerful Gothic church, built with irregular ashlar and granite, impresses with its architecture and interior. A stroll around the market square is an effortless way to rest tired legs.

Military Secrets for Families : Set off for nearby Świdnica (only about a fifteen-minute drive) to see the incredible Wooden Church of Peace, listed by UNESCO 🌲. For kids, Świdnica also hosts the huge attraction of the Museum of Arms and Militaria as well as a stroll through the charming, renovated market square.

A Granite-Flavored Boost of Energy : After conquering these 12 demanding kilometers, your body will loudly crave a proper meal 🤔! In local eateries, be sure to order the traditional and hearty Silesian classics: kluski śląskie with a fragrant roast beef and red cabbage, homemade pierogi with a thick sauce, or the crispy “placek po węgiersku” that will revive any runner.

Find your rhythm, get ready to have fun, and turn up at this unique Lower Silesian starting line… 🏁 Strzegom is waiting to write a new chapter of your running story with you!
