The Silesia Marathon is a road running event held annually in the autumn in the Upper Silesian urban area, a conurbation of more than 2.5 million people in the Silesia region in Poland.
In 2026, five race options will be available:
- 5km Silesia 5k Run
- 10km Silesia 10k Run
- 21.1km Silesia Half Marathon
- 42.2km Silesia Marathon
- 50km Silesia Ultramarathon
At the time of writing this article (29 June 2026), the routes have not been published yet.
Last year, the half marathon, the marathon and the 50k were undulating single-loop courses through a mix of urban and green areas in four cities: Katowice (the biggest city in the Silesian Metropolis), Mysłowice, Siemianowice Śląskie and Chorzów.
All races began and ended in Chorzów. The start was at Stadion Śląski (Silesian Stadium), a 55,000-seat stadium located in the vast Park Śląski (Silesian Park), one of Europe's largest city parks. The finish line was on the athletics track inside the stadium.
Participants in the 50k race ran two 4k-loops through Park Śląski and then a marathon.
