Warsaw Half Marathon

The Warsaw Half Marathon (Nationale‑Nederlanden Półmaraton Warszawski) is a springtime urban running event in Poland, starting on Poniatowski Bridge near the National Stadium and finishing on the stadium grounds. The carefully designed city loop moves across the Vistula River, continues through broad avenues like Jerusalem Avenue and Marszałkowska, and passes Krakowskie Przedmieście into Old Town before looping north toward Żoliborz and returning via Gdański Bridge. The race uses chip timing, hydration zones, medical support, and has pacers and crowd support throughout. It’s among Poland’s largest half marathons and known for its fast, spectator-friendly course.

For travel runners, Warsaw offers cultural richness and sightseeing highlights: participants pass landmarks like Royal Łazienki Park, Warsaw Citadel, and central historic districts. The capital’s Old Town, Royal Route, and Castle Square are within easy reach before or after racing. The event includes the Run & Explore program delivering curated city tours—ideal for pairing race performance with urban tourism experiences.

Whether you’re chasing a strong finish time or combining race and travel, the Warsaw Half Marathon delivers a balanced mix of performance and sightseeing in a dynamic European capital.
