The Silesia Marathon is one of Poland’s most distinctive road races, uniting thousands of runners each year across marathon, half marathon, and ultramarathon distances. Since 2009, athletes have faced the challenge of finishing on the track of the legendary Silesian Stadium, known as the “Witches’ Cauldron,” where the roar of the crowd creates a unique finish-line atmosphere. The course weaves through multiple cities in the Silesian region—Katowice, Chorzów, and Siemianowice Śląskie—offering a mix of urban streets, park landscapes, and long straights that test both pace and endurance. With foreign champions since its very first edition, the race quickly gained international appeal, drawing participants from Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas. Today, it stands out not only as a test of resilience but also as a grassroots-driven event created by passionate runners for runners, backed by years of tradition and a dedicated foundation.
