The story

Poznan Marathon in Poznan

The LOTTO Poznan Marathon, named for the late Deputy Mayor Maciej Frankiewicz, has run since 2000 and now draws over four thousand finishers each October, forming part of the Crown of Polish Marathons circuit alongside races in Warsaw, Krakow, and Wroclaw every single year since founding.

When Poznan launched its city marathon in 2000, only 831 runners crossed the starting line, a modest beginning for what has since grown into one of the anchor races in Poland's Crown of Polish Marathons circuit.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The race formally carries the name of Maciej Frankiewicz, a former Poznan Deputy Mayor recognized for his role developing city sports infrastructure, a naming choice that ties the marathon directly to local civic history rather than a purely commercial sponsor identity

02

The mystery stays covered

Organized by the city's own Poznan Sports and Recreation Centers rather than an outside promoter, the marathon grew from 831 starters at its founding in 2000 to over four thousand finishers in its 2025 edition, with its twenty-fifth anniversary edition run in 2026

03

The city starts moving

Companion events include the Poznan Run Expo and a Pho3nix Kids Marathon, extending the race weekend to younger participants
