For runners on the “short” spring distance, light cream technical T-shirts are available. The design on the T-shirt refers to the Warsaw skyline and has a vibrant red color. We outlined spring flowers in dark burgundy. Will you high-five?

Registration is still ongoing, and T-shirts can be ordered even if you are already on the starting list.

During the 18th Nationale-Nederlanden Warsaw Half Marathon, the 33rd Polish Half Marathon Championships will take place under the auspices of the Polish Athletics Association. On March 24, we will witness the competition of top Polish female and male athletes on the streets of the capital.

The best female and male athletes in Warsaw

This year’s Polish Half Marathon Championships will take place in the capital, during the 18th Nationale-Nederlanden Warsaw Half Marathon. Originally scheduled for March 10 in Gniezno, the organizer informed the Polish Athletics Association that the event would not take place there. When choosing a new venue for the championship, it was important for Polish Athletics Association, in addition to the event’s reputation, to adjust the event date to the international competition calendar, taking into account the Summer Olympic Games in Paris and the European Championships in Rome.

“This year is truly exceptional as we celebrate the 100th anniversary of the first marathon in Poland, which took place in Warsaw, and eagerly await the Olympic Games in Paris. We will begin our celebration at the end of March when, as every year, the running spring starts in Warsaw. The decision made by the Polish Athletics Association is an honor for us, but also proof that the capital is an excellent venue for organizing major sporting events,” says Marek Tronina, the president of the “Marathon Warsaw” Foundation.
