The medal will be awarded to each finisher of the 15th Warsaw Half Marathon.

Dear Runners,

At 10:00 AM, August 25th the registration for starting rounds will commence. You will be able to choose your starting round if:

• you’ve confirmed your participation in the run (refers to those signed up before July 14th)
• you have previously filled out the vaccination status questionnaire, regardless of the answer you gave

If you haven’t done it yet – log in to your profile on the REGISTRATION PAGE and fill out the form that will appear on the screen automatically after logging in. The form is available for you there until September 1st.

In accordance with the current regulations: unvaccinated participants will be able to choose a round within the limit of 500 people per round (the order of applications decides), while vaccinated participants can choose starting rounds without any limit.

How to choose a starting round?

1. Registration for the starting rounds will commence on August 25th and end on September 1st.
2. Log in to the REGISTRATION page. The starting round selection form will appear automatically after logging in.
3. Those participants that declared that they were fully vaccinated were automatically assigned to the first starting round at 12:00 PM (no need to choose your starting round then). However, those participants have an option to change their starting round.

– If you are fully vaccinated and you want to participate in the first round – there’s nothing else that you need to do

 

– If you want to sign up to a different starting round – log in to the REGISTRATION page, go to YOUR RUNS tab, click the DETAILS button next to the 15th Warsaw Half Marathon and edit the data.

4. Those participants that do not take part in registration for starting rounds, will be randomly and irreversibly assigned to one of them on September 3rd.

The 15th Warsaw Half Marathon will be split into five starting rounds: at 12:00 PM (the main start), and then at 12:30 PM, 12:45 PM, 1:00 PM and 1:15 PM.

Your timely responses will allow us to efficiently organize the run for you and other participants.

See you soon!

Dear Runners,

If you made your registration and paid the entry fee before July 14th ( the date we announced a new date for the 15th Warsaw Half Marathon), be sure to read the following information!

We would like to thank all participants who completed the questionnaire confirming their participation in the run. However, there are participants that have not done so yet.

Although the time for resigning from participating in the run and getting a refund of fees was up on August 8th, you still have the opportunity to confirm your participation in the race on September 26, 2021, or to transfer the bib number to the next year’s 16th Warsaw Half Marathon without additional operational charges.

If you haven’t done it yet – log in to your profile on the REGISTRATION PAGE and fill in the participation form and (upon confirmation of participation) the vaccination status questionnaire. Both forms will appear on the screen automatically after logging in to your profile and will be available for you there until September 1st.

Important!

Those participants that confirm their willingness to participate in this year’s half marathon and fill in the vaccination status questionnaire will be able to choose a starting round (STARING ROUND SELECTION >>>).

Those who do not confirm their participation or  transfer their bib number to next year’s event will be treated as participants of the 15th Warsaw Half Marathon on September 26, 2021 and will be randomly allocated to one of the starting rounds.

Your timely responses will allow us to efficiently organize the run for you and other participants.

 

See you soon!

Dear runners,

the 15th Warsaw Marathon is 2 months away, but the current situation won’t allow us or anyone to organise sporting events. We still don’t know what future regulations and rules will look like. However, we know that the race that we all have been waiting for won’t take place on the last weekend of March. 

Right now we are working on possible scenarios. We are keeping in touch with authorities and other race organisers to get the sport industry back to where it was as soon as possible. At this point we are unable to confirm the date of the 15th Warsaw Half Marathon. We want to avoid changing the date of the race one again. 

Last year we achieved more that we thought was possible. We managed to organise a special edition of the Warsaw Marathon. We hope that experience will equip us the confidence and knowledge needed to give you another safe race. 

We will keep you informed about our next steps, and most importantly the new date of the 15th Warsaw Half Marathon. We can assure you that you won’t lose any of the fees you have already paid. The moment we announce the new date of the Half Marathon you will be able to decide what to do with your fee: from moving it to another event to getting a full refund. 

We hope that you will decide to stay with us. Even though in the last year we were not able to create races the way you know them, we believe that we will come back with the energy and power no one has ever seen!

Take care and run! This passion that we share makes us stronger.

Warsaw Marathon Foundation

Dear runners,

due to the current restrictions and limits regarding organising mass running events during the pandemic, the 15th Warsaw Half Marathon will be rescheduled for March 28th, 2021. 

Over the last few months, we have been working hard to organise this event in the safest way possible for you, for our volunteers, for ourselves and following current sanitary rules. We also undertook, together with the Association of Mass Events Organizers, a series of actions and started many conversations with our government regarding current regulations and our solutions. However, the moment all we have been dreading for the last months, has finally come. We have to make this difficult, but also only possible decision.

The starting list of 15th Warsaw Half Marathon consists of almost 7 thousand names. This means we need to plan an event much bigger than we currently can. We hope to see you on March 28th, 2021! We want to listen to “Sen o Warszawie” together with you again.

We can assure you that your entry fee will not be lost. You can transfer it to next year’s edition, to another person, or to any future race organized by us. If you know you don’t want to use any of these options, you may withdraw your entry fee by emailing us at: zwrot@maratonwarszawski.com. We hope you choose to stay with us!

We really hope you will choose to stay with us!

Charity runners – your #BiegamDobrze fundraisers will continue to say active. You can decide if you want to join us during 2021 half marathon or any other race. The funds you have collected will be transferred to the cause you have chosen. Thank you for all of your great work!

Take care of yourselves, your loved ones and of your health. See you next year!

Dear runners,

We are aware that many of you are waiting for the 15th Warsaw Half Marathon’s new date. The truth is, however, that today we are still not able to declare any firm date of the race. To avoid any further mess we want our decisions to be final, based not merely on our wishful thinking but first and foremost on facts. And the fact is that all we can do and are doing now is we are working on new solutions and options as well as waiting for waiting for the government’s decisions that affect and apply to sport events. We are taking into consideration many different scenarios, with various dates and structures of the event. We promise to give you information as soon as it is possible. Overcoming the epidemic is a long distance race and we want to be ready to win it.

As we promised before, no matter what the new date and format of the race will be, the entry fees you have paid will not be lost. If you cannot participate in the 15th edition of the Warsaw Half Marathon you choose to either:

• transfer the funds to any other race organised by Warsaw Marathon Foundation or;
• transfer your race kit to another runner without any additional costs.

For those who don’t want to use the options listed above – you can receive a refund of your fee right now. To use this option please:

• send an email to zwrot@maratonwarszawski.com from the email address you have used during the registration on rejestracja.maratonwarszawski.com;
• in the email be sure to include the registration number you have received after registering for 15th Warsaw Half Marathon.

We hope that you still choose to stay with us!

Our charity runners – your fundraisers will continue to stay active. After the race’s new date is announced you will be able to determine whether you want to participate in the Half Marathon or any other event. The funds you have collected will be transferred to the charity you have chosen. Thank you for everything you do!

We want to ask for your patience and trust. We are in this together and together we will overcome this.

Stay safe.
