Environmental Exposure Detail
parkrun Szczecinek is a free, weekly, timed 5 km run open to all abilities near Koszalin. Held every Saturday morning and organised entirely by volunteers, it's open to walkers, joggers and runners of all paces. It passes through parkland, mixing trees, shrubs and open grass along the way.
At parkrun Szczecinek, the course is located entirely within the Town Park by Lake Trzesiecko. The park borders the roads 3-go Maja and A. Mickiewicza streets. The start is at the beginning of the park avenue by the main entrance to the football stadium. After the start the route runs straight along the lakeshore, past the historic town bathing area, and reaches the point where the Niezdobna stream begins. Along the stream we pass the headquarters of the Regional State Forests, located in a former castle. Reaching a concrete bridge, the route crosses it and heads diagonally onto the left bank of the stream. Further on, the route runs around a park square with a fountain, where there is a turnaround. It then crosses a small wooden bridge near St Mary's Church, crossing back to the other bank of the Niezdobna. It again follows the stream to the point where it begins, then the route bears slightly left along the park avenue by A. Mickiewicza Street and reaches the start line. After three loops of this route, the course ends at the finish line, 30 m from the start line on the same park avenue.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where is air quality worst on the parkrun Szczecinek route?
Based on today's forecast, O3 is forecast at good levels along the route today (12.3/100). Air quality is at its worst after 0.3 km into the route. Airmine calculates exposure at 200m intervals along the course using satellite-derived atmospheric data.
Where is pollen highest on the parkrun Szczecinek course?
Pollen levels are relatively low across the entire route today. This changes through the season as different pollen species become active.
When is pollen worst during the parkrun Szczecinek season?
Pollen seasons vary by location. Tree pollen (birch, alder) typically peaks in spring, while grass pollen rises in May-June.
How often is this forecast updated?
Updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.
Are pollen levels in parkrun Szczecinek based on measurements or forecasts?
Pollen data is often misunderstood. Most "pollen levels" are not real-time measurements, but forecasts.
Direct pollen measurements are typically delayed by 1-2 days because they require manual analysis. To show current conditions in parkrun Szczecinek, modern forecasts combine recent measurements, weather data, and information about local vegetation.
This allows us to estimate pollen levels for today and the coming days, not just report the past.
Airmine’s atmospheric monitoring platform was developed with support from the European Space Agency (ESA)’s Business Applications and Space Solutions (BASS) team, using satellite and Earth observation technologies to improve emissions monitoring.
Understanding the Scale
The 0–100 scores represent risk levels, not direct measurements of pollen or air pollutant concentrations. Higher scores indicate higher risk. Pollen and air quality use different thresholds.
Pollen
| None | 0 | No or negligible risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be minimal. |
| Low | 0-25 | Low risk of exposure. Small amounts of pollen or mold spores may be present. |
| Moderate | 25-50 | Moderate risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be noticeable. |
| High | 50-75 | High risk of exposure. Elevated pollen/mold exposure is expected. |
| Very High | 75-100 | Very high risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be at or near its highest levels. |
Air Quality
| Good | 0-20 | Low air quality risk. Air quality is expected to be good, with low levels of pollution. |
| Fair | 20-40 | Generally low air quality risk. Air quality is expected to be acceptable, with some pollution present. |
| Moderate | 40-60 | Moderate air quality risk. Air pollution is elevated and air quality may be less favorable. |
| Poor | 60-80 | High air quality risk. Air pollution is high and air quality is expected to be poor. |
| Very Poor | 80-100 | Very high air quality risk. Air pollution is very high and air quality is expected to be very poor. |
