About the Warsaw Marathon

Warsaw Marathon is one of Poland's defining road races and has been held without interruption since 1979. Its history, large field, and full-capital footprint make it both a destination event and a serious autumn goal race.

Course

The course tours central Warsaw and multiple city districts on mostly fast roads, balancing landmark sections with longer pacing stretches. Route details change by edition, so runners should study the current map rather than rely on an older profile.

Race-day weather

Late September in Warsaw is often cool and favorable, but rain and wind can arrive quickly. Open avenues can magnify a headwind even when temperatures remain ideal.
