Registration for the 21st Warsaw Half Marathon opens on Monday! Runners who have taken part in our events get priority access.
Registration for the 21st Warsaw Half Marathon opens on Monday, 16 November, at 10:00 CET! We can’t wait to celebrate running with you again, with 28,000 places available.
This year, we’re introducing priority registration as a way of thanking runners who have taken part in our events and helped shape their history. Registration will open to everyone later that same day!
How will registration work on 16 November?
10:00–20:00 CET | Priority registration
- The first 10 hours of registration are reserved for runners who were assigned a race number for at least one of our individual races during the past three seasons (2024–2026).
- Why three seasons? We also want to include runners who have recently had to take a break, for example due to injury. All our race distances count, including 5K and 10K events, so you don’t need to have run a marathon or half marathon with us before. Perhaps you’re now ready to join us for your first half marathon!
You’ll find the full list of qualifying races and detailed registration rules in our FAQ below. A maximum of 14,000 places, half of all available places, will be allocated to priority registration.
From 20:00 CET | General registration
- From 20:00 CET on 16 November, registration will be open to everyone, including runners who have never taken part in our events before. Registration will remain open until all places are filled.
The entry fee from the opening of registration until the end of November is €55.
Your place is only guaranteed once you have completed the registration form and paid the entry fee. Submitting the form alone does not reserve your place.
#IRunWell – Run for a good cause!
As always, you can also enter through our charity programme. This year, 2,000 charity places are available, with 13 charities to choose from, so you can fundraise for a cause that matters to you.
A maximum of 2,000 fundraising pages can be active at any one time within the programme.
How does it work?
- You have 48 hours after completing the registration form to set up your fundraising page.
- Raise your first PLN 50 within 14 days of creating your page to keep it active. Otherwise, your page will be closed, and your place in the #IRunWell programme will become available to another runner.
- Raise PLN 500 by 1 February 2027 to secure your race number for the half marathon. Your chosen charity will cover your entry fee.
Can I transfer my race entry to someone else?
Yes! If the event sells out, we will launch our official entry transfer system in the second half of January, allowing you to transfer your entry to another runner. A processing fee will apply. You will also be able to purchase an entry cancellation option when you register.
We can’t wait to see you on the start line again! Whether you’ve been running with us for years or are planning your very first half marathon, see you in Warsaw on 14 March 2027!
FAQ
Why are we introducing priority registration, and how will it work?
Priority registration is our way of thanking runners who have taken part in our events. We’re including the past three seasons (2024–2026) so that anyone who missed this year due to injury or a break from running can still qualify.
All our race distances count, including 5K and 10K events. You don’t need to have run a half marathon with us before. If you’ve taken part in one of our shorter races and are now ready for your first half marathon, this is for you too.
Priority registration will be open on 16 November, from 10:00 to 20:00 CET, with up to 14,000 places available, half of the total capacity. Registration opens to everyone at 20:00 CET that same day.
If all 14,000 priority places are taken before 20:00 CET, registration will be paused until general registration opens. Any unused priority places will be added to the places available to everyone.
Do I qualify for priority registration if I registered for a previous race but didn’t finish it?
You qualify if you were assigned a race number for at least one of the following events in 2024, 2025 or 2026. You do not need to have finished, or even started, the race.
- Warsaw Marathon
- Warsaw Half Marathon
- High Five Race (5K)
- Warsaw 10K
- 3 May Constitution Run
- Warsaw Uprising Run
- Independence Run
- Warsaw Dog Run
- Virtual Independence Run
- Virtual Warsaw Uprising Run
- Virtual Warsaw Dog Run
- Virtual “Keys of Hope” Memorial Run
Are international runners also eligible for priority registration?
Yes. The same rules apply to everyone, regardless of nationality or country of residence. You qualify for priority registration if you were assigned a race number for any of the events listed above during the past three seasons (2024–2026).
Can I transfer my race entry to someone else?
Yes. We will enable entry transfers in January if the event has sold out by then. You can also purchase an entry cancellation option when you register.
What are the entry fees for the 21st Warsaw Half Marathon?
Entry fees depend on when you register, with the lowest rate available until the end of November. See the table below for the full fee schedule. We recommend registering early to secure your place at the best price.
| Registration date | Entry Fee |
| Until 30 November 2026 | €55 |
| 1–31 December 2026 | €68 |
| 1–31 January 2027 | €80 |
| From 1 February 2027 | €105 |
With the possibility of snow and freezing temperatures in mid-March, isn’t 14 March too early for a half marathon?
March can offer favourable conditions for running. Over the past five years, daytime highs in Warsaw on 14 March have ranged from around 9°C to 19°C. Mornings can still be chilly, so make sure to dress for the race-day forecast.
Will there be enough places for everyone who wants to take part?
We’ve increased the event’s capacity as we prepare to stage the largest running event in Poland’s history. However, places are limited, so we recommend registering early when registration opens on 16 November.
Priority registration opens at 10:00 CET and runs for 10 hours, exclusively for eligible runners from our events during the past three seasons (2024–2026). Registration opens to everyone at 20:00 CET.
Will the Warsaw Half Marathon change significantly after joining SuperHalfs?
Joining SuperHalfs brings new opportunities, but taking part in the series is entirely optional. If you simply want to run the Warsaw Half Marathon with us, you’re just as welcome as ever.
Will SuperHalfs participants have priority registration or a separate allocation of places?
No. Being a SuperHalfs participant does not give you priority registration or access to a separate allocation of places. Priority registration is available only to runners who were assigned a race number for one of the qualifying Warsaw Marathon Foundation events during the past three seasons (2024–2026).
