This article discusses a survey to investigate the problem of the health literacy of leisure runners. The survey was conducted in 2016 in Poland among 963 participants of the DOZ Marathon Lodz with PZU [Polish Insurance Company] . A specially developed scale for measuring the participants’ level of health literacy (−3, 23 points) was used, and the survey answers were evaluated by medical doctors. As the average score was 3.16, the surveyed population was shown to lack information about the medical and health consequences of running. The people who were relatively better informed were women and younger runners (and additionally single runners and those not active on the labor market). An unexpected finding was that social-class affiliation, educational level, and advancement in running ability had a low degree of influence on the health knowledge of the surveyed runners. The conclusion is that a health-related motivation to train in the sport of running (which was declared to be a key factor in many studies) is grounded in common knowledge, while the majority of leisure runners are unacquainted with the actual risks and benefits of running

The paper presents results of a research focused on Polish running clubs (NGOs for runners and running volunteers). The research method was desk research on-line and the study refers to all 99 identified running clubs in Poland, including their activity in 2014 and 2015. Collected data includes location, number of members and activities undertaken by running clubs (in the perspective of collaboration with local authorities, other NGOs and business). Results of the study may be useful when analyzing the running boom in the perspective of the theory of social capital by Robert D. Putnam.

W artykule zostały przedstawione wyniki badania własnego dotyczącego działalności stowarzyszeń biegaczy-amatorów (tzw. klubów biegacza) w Polsce. Badanie zostało wykonane z wykorzystaniem analizy danych zastanych on-line (ang. desk research), obejmując 99 zidentyfikowanych organizacji tego typu. Pomiar uwzględniał aktywność badanych podmiotów w 2014 i 2015 roku. Zebrane dane dotyczą lokalizacji (województwo, wielkość miejscowości), liczby członków oraz rodzajów działań podejmowanych przez kluby biegacza, w układzie ich współpracy z jednostkami samorządu terytorialnego, innymi organizacjami pozarządowymi oraz firmami komercyjnymi. Uzyskane wyniki mogą być interpretowane w perspektywie teorii kapitału społecznego, w ujęciu proponowanym przez Roberta D. Putnama.
