The Warsaw Half Marathon (Półmaraton Warszawski) is a road half marathon through central Warsaw, held on a Sunday in spring. The 2026 edition was the 20th, run on 22 March; the 21st is set for 4 April 2027. In 2026 the start was in waves on the Poniatowski Bridge at 11:00, with the runners' village, bag drop and finish on the grounds of the PGE Narodowy stadium. The route ran north through Nowy Świat, Krakowskie Przedmieście and Miodowa to Plac Wilsona, out to Bielany along Wybrzeże Gdyńskie, then back over the Gdański Bridge to Praga, past the zoo and on to the stadium. It passes through five districts: Śródmieście, Żoliborz, Bielany, Praga Północ and Praga Południe, and the organisers list the Poniatowski Bridge, the Charles de Gaulle Roundabout with its palm tree and the Presidential Palace among the sights. The course is certified by the Polish Athletics Association and World Athletics and carries the World Athletics Elite Label. The time limit is 3 hours 30 minutes. The first edition was held on 26 March 2006. In 2026 the race sold out its 25,000 places two months before race day, and more than 20,000 runners finished.
