How to get to the start?

Remember! On the night from Saturday (March 25) to Sunday (March 26) there will be a change from winter to summer time, resulting in one hour less sleep!


How to get to the start?

We encourage you to use public transportation to get to the start. We recommend taking the metro to Dworzec Gdański station and walking to Konwiktorska Street. The number of parking spaces in the immediate vicinity of the start is very limited.


Public transport for free

On the day of the race, you can use public transportation for free based on your race bib. Free rides are only valid in the first zone on buses, trams, metro, and SKM. To use the ride, you must have your race bib with you.


Start

The 17th Nationale-Nederlanden Warsaw Half Marathon will start on March 26 at 11:00 am.
The New Balance High Five Race will start on March 26 at 10:00 a.m.

Participants in manual wheelchairs start from the first line at 9:55 a.m. in the accompanying race and at 10:55 a.m. in the main race.
Both races start from Konwiktorska Street. A separate start gate is prepared for each of the two starts – arrive at the start earlier to position yourself in the appropriate place. Both start gates are about 150 meters apart.

Remember to position yourself in the appropriate time zone marked by flags at the start, according to the color marked in the corner of your race bib and the planned result.

Blue Flags – elit
Red Flags – max time 1:30

How to pick up a race kit?

You can collect your race kit at the Race Office located in the Palace of Culture and Science (Defilad Square 1, the entrance from Marszałkowska Street).

The Race Office opening hours:

– March 24 (Friday) from 2:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
– March 25 (Saturday) from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.

ATTENTION! The Race Office will not be open on the day of the race.


● If you collect your race kit personally, it will be issued based on your ID with a photo.

● If you want someone else to collect your race kit, print and sign your race card and attach a copy of your ID card. Race cards will be available for download from March 13. Based on these two documents, another person will be able to
collect your race kit. To download the race card, log in to the website: https://rejestracja.maratonwarszawski.com/pl/, go to the YOUR RACES tab, select the DETAILS button, and then DOWNLOAD THE RACE CARD.


Remember – queues form when the office opens! If you don’t have to, don’t come at the very beginning of the Race Office’s work. We work all day – you will surely have time to collect your package.

If you are collecting your race packet in person, you need your ID with a photo.

If you want someone else to pick up your race kit, they should bring a copy of your entry card (Karta Startowa) signed by you. To retrieve it you must log in to your Warsaw Marathon account and find it under “Your Runs” (“Twoje Biegi”). The signed card along with a copy of your ID (with photo) should be shown at the pick-up of your race-kit if you are not showing in person.

The official T-shirt of 17th Nationale-Nederlanden Warsaw Half Marathon

We present you the official 17th Nationale-Nederlanden Warsaw Half Marathon Race T-shirt. We believe that it will make for a great memory of our get together. We will see you on March 26th at 11 a.m. The route leading through the heart of the capital and the finish line at Multimedia Fountain Park on Wislostrada will surely be remembered for a long time.

Registration is still open! 

 

See the routes that runners run on March 26!

Organized sports events and a vibrant crowd of thousands of runners have a lot of magic. There is no better time than spring to get back in shape! If your period of detraining has extended, if you want to compete for a personal best, get back to the form from the previous years or start running- do it now. If you are thinking of making your debut at a longer distance- the Warsaw Half Marathon is the perfect choice. Last year, the event hosted more than two thousand debutantes, who faced the 21-kilometer route for the first time. 2023 could be your year! Join!

You can’t miss the start in the event that for years has mobilized thousands of people to start the running season and set their first training goals.  If the half marathon is not attracted you, confront the distance of 5 km, run along a beautiful route in the heart of the city and feel the atmosphere of a great event! 

Registration for both events is still open!
