Nowadays, there are more than 4,000 runs organized every year and they are open for everyone. These running events have a different number of participants (from as little as 10 people, up to even a few thousands) and they are organized in many places by various institutions and organizations. Furthermore, we can distingusih long-distance runs (mainly marathons and half-marathons) and shorter-distance runs (e.g. 10 km). The aim of this of article is to analyze mass-participation running events in Poland statistically, taking into account many criteria: quantity, location, distance and sex. The following statistical methods are used: chain indexes and average annual rate of change. Statistical data were obtained directly from organizers, their websites and different publications about mass-participation running events in Poland. The authors present a versatile statistical view on Polish mass running events in tabular and chart forms L1 - http://repozytorium.uni.wroc.pl/Content/96371/PDF/07_Waniowski_T_Zakowska_S_Dynamika_rozwoju_biegow_masowych_w_Polsce_analiza_statystyczna.pdf CY - Wrocław L2 - http://repozytorium.uni.wroc.pl/Content/96371 PY - 2018 KW - mass-participation run KW - running events KW - statistical analysis KW - chain indexes KW - single-item indexes KW - average rate of change T1 - Dynamika rozwoju biegów masowych w Polsce — analiza statystyczna UR - http://repozytorium.uni.wroc.pl/dlibra/publication/edition/96371 ER -
