Due to the military invasion of Russia against Ukraine, all citizens of Russia as well as citizens of Belarus coming to the event from their home country have been crossed out from the start list of the Warsaw Peace Half Marathon.

This war takes the lives of thousands and millions lose their detrimental right to live in peace. The decision to disallow countrymen of the invaders in the race is our symbol of solidarity with all citizens of Ukraine and the respect for the Ukrainian runners taking part in the half marathon. Our decision follows the ban of the Polish Track and Field Federation as well the World Athletics and European Athletics imposed on Russian and Belarussian runners in official track and field events.

However, the organizer of the half marathon has made an autonomous decision to keep on the start list the Belarussian runners who live in Poland. These individuals are often dissidents and members of the political opposition who have escaped their home country and found a shelter in Poland. All these individuals express their unconditional support to the peaceful message of our race and their support for the independence and sovereignty of the Ukrainian nation.

В связи с продолжающимся военным нападением на Украину в Варшавском Полумарафоне мира не примут участие граждане России и участники, приехавшие на бег из Беларуси. В войне, в которой гибнут тысячи людей и миллионы людей лишены права жить в мире, недопущение к участию в бегу граждан страны-агрессора является выражением нашей солидарности со  всеми гражданами Украины и уважением к спортсменам из этой страны, которые станут на старте.

Данное решение соответствует резолюции Польской ассоциации легкой атлетики, которая исключила возможность граждан этих стран участвовать в соревнованиях по официальному календарю ПЗЛА и положениям международных федераций – Всемирной легкой атлетики и Европейской легкой атлетики.

Мы считаем, что граждане Беларуси и России, выступающие против режимов, должны поддерживать любые действия, направленные на то, чтобы побудить их народы противостоять жестоким действиям своих правительств.

Людям, которые уже сделали оплату, стартовый взнос будет автоматически возвращён тем же способом, который использовался для платежа.

___________________________

Решение распространяется также и на сопутствующие беги на более короткие дистанции.

Each participant who finishes the race will receive the medal.

This medal will be awarded to all finishers of the Warsaw Peace Half Marathon.

We celebrate every event by placing one of Warsaw’s symbolic spots on the finishers’ medals. This year however, the crucial symbol of Warsaw and the country is our solidarity with casualties of war and the will to help.

Let the beating of your hearts set the rhythm of your feet; let the medal be your extra boost.

We present you the official New Balance High Five Race T-shirt. We believe that it will make for a great memory of our get together. We will see you on March 27th at 1 p.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.

This year, the 16th Warsaw Half Marathon will be called the Warsaw Peace Half Marathon. At the beginning of its history the Warsaw Marathon was called the Peace Marathon. We would like the word PEACE to resonate especially strongly.

Dear All,

The 2022 Warsaw Half Marathon will be officially called the Warsaw Peace Half Marathon. This name will be displayed on the race bibs and in other media. Road races are more than merely sport competitions. They also carry important social messages. 

Right now we are living the moment when thousands of people should carry such a message down the streets of Warsaw. The message is: peace is one of the key values of mankind. And so is the right to live in peace. The Warsaw Marathon was originally called the Peace Marathon. Just a few days ago we all of the sudden realized what “peace” really is. 

We are also going to carry out more specific actions. 

A virtual Race of Unity with Ukraine will take place. On Monday we open the registration panel and all entry fees money will go to our partner charity helping people suffering from war in Ukraine. The Race of Unity will continue until March 27. You can run this race virtually but also wear the Race of Unity race bibs during the Peace Half Marathon or New Balance High Five Race. 

Citizens of Ukraine! If being a part of the Warsaw Peace Half Marathon or the New Balance High Five Race can in any way help you in the hard time – you are welcome to join the races free of charge. A dedicated registration link is available on our website. 

We will keep you informed on further actions.

Dear runners!

The current regulations impose on us the obligation to adjust the organization of the event to the current limits. Therefore, just like in the previous year, we will organize the 16th Warsaw Half Marathon in starting waves.

Registration for the waves started on 21 February at 12:00 p.m. and will continue until Friday, 25th of February.

Currently, all runs can be conducted in waves of up to 250 people starting every 15 minutes, and this limit does not include people who have a current EU Covid Certificate.

All people who have completed the Covid Certificate form have the opportunity to choose their starting wave, regardless of the answer they gave. If you have not already done so – log in to your profile on the registration page and answer the question that automatically appears on the screen after logging in. It will take you no more than a minute.

How to sign up for a starting wave?

1. Registration for the starting waves started on February 21 at 12:00 p.m. It will last until Friday, February 25th.

2. Log in to the REGISTRATION page by this date. Starting wave selection form will appear automatically after logging in.

3. Main start (1st round) will take place at 9:00 a.m., next rounds will start at 9:30 a.m. every 15 minutes.

4. Those jrunners that have agreed to present their Covid Certificate, are automatically assigned to the first round of the start at 9:00 am (no selection necessary).

– If you have agreed to show your COVID certificate and want to start in the first round – there’s nothing else you need to do.
– If you want to change the round – log in at the REGISTRATION page, go to the tab YOUR RUNS, click DETAILS next to 16th Warsaw Half
Marathon and edit your data.

5. Those who do not register for the rounds before March 1st will be randomly and irreversibly assigned to one of the rounds.

6. There will be additional rounds opened for participants that will register for the race after March 1st.

Dear all, current rules regarding limits on running events may be extended, but also changed in the coming days. If at the turn of February and March the current limits will be lifted, we will inform you immediately about a possible change of the start formula.

This year, Spring starts in Warsaw once again!
