Bridgestone, a Global Olympic Partner, is also sponsor of the 45th Nationale-Nederlanden Warsaw Marathon and the Title Sponsor of the Bridgestone Marathon Relay.

The company supported all runners along the course and helped record their achievements and emotions. Now you can see the photos and share them, all free of charge, thanks to our sponsor.

The 45th Nationale-Nederlanden Warsaw Marathon is now behind us. Thank you for being part of it!

We are extremely grateful to all our international visitors – amateur runners, elite athletes, families, fans, tourists and just anybody who joined in with our running celebrations, feeling the 42k race in Warsaw is a European event that brings people together in many ways.

We hope you felt welcome in our city. And we trust we shall see you come back more than once. Warsaw is a unique place. It deserves being wondered at, tasted and enjoyed. And it deserves a Big Race!

This year we offered you a mixture of new and classic – then you entered with your dreams and passions. This is exactly the Sunday we imagined, and this is how it was meant to be, and we worked on it together.

Runners – thank you for being here and for chasing your dream! You are an inspiration and an example to others.

We have the highest praise for volunteers – without their energy and presence, we couldn’t have done it!

But also cheers to all spectators – you drive, motivate and support us. It’s wonderful that you accepted our invitation and we could celebrate together.

Heartfelt thanks go to our sponsors, partners, and everyone involved in organising the Big Race. Together, we have written another page in history! And now, we keep running forward.

Congratulations on your achievements, training, determination, creativity, and perseverance.

It was a beautiful day! DZIĘKUJEMY!
