The number of runners with whom we will meet on 27 March at the start line of the 16th Warsaw Half Marathon is still growing. Out of 9000 registered, a large part of runners confirmed their participation by completing the full registration and paying the participation fee.

It is worth making sure whether your name is on the START LIST for the 16th Warsaw Half Marathon. If you are not among us, nothing to worry about! You can still join us to welcome spring in Warsaw among thousands of runners. REGISTRATION PAGE >>>

Thousands of runners will once again run along a scenic course through the heart of the capital, in one of the largest running events in this part of Europe.
