Choose your style: the classic registration or the charitable option with #IRunWell!


When Do Registrations Open?

  • Warsaw Half Marathon: Registration opens December 2, 2024.
  • Warsaw Marathon: Registration starts December 10, 2024.

Right from the start, participants can join the #IRunWell initiative. Instead of paying the traditional entry fee, runners can fundraise for a chosen charity and earn their spot at the starting line with a signature orange bib.


#IRunWell – Running for a Cause

The #IRunWell initiative combines the passion for running with the mission to support those in need. Participants create online fundraising campaigns for chosen charities, and meeting the fundraising goal secures their entry.

Since its inception in 2015, over 13,000 runners have raised 10 million PLN for charitable causes. In 2024 alone, 808 runners collectively raised 812,367 PLN during the 10th anniversary edition.

Be a Hero in Orange

Join #IRunWell in 2025 by participating in:

  • The Warsaw Half Marathon
  • The accompanying New Balance High Five Race (5K)
  • The Warsaw Marathon
  • The Nice To Fit You Warsaw 10K

Each event is an opportunity to combine personal goals with impactful charity work. Let’s prove that mass sports have the power to change the world.
