OPERATION OF DEPOSITS

You will be able to deposit your belongings in specially marked DAF Trucks Polska lorries located in the Runners’ Town. This is to ensure that you can focus solely on covering the kilometres while your belongings are safely stored by volunteers in the trucks.

In your race kit, you will receive a bag that allows you to deposit your items before the race. To deposit your belongings, attach the sticker with your race number to the bag. You will need your race number to retrieve your deposit. Please note that the organizers do not take responsibility for valuable items left in the deposit!

BRIDGESTONE MARATHON RELAY

Deposits for Bridgestone Marathon Relay runners will be accepted near each relay leg start and can be collected at the end of that relay leg. To drop off and to retrieve your belongings, look for the vehicles – DAF lorries marked as “Deposits.” You can find details in the table.

CHANGING ROOMS

Before and after the race, participants can use changing rooms located near the deposits.

The 45th jubilee edition of the Nationale-Nederlanden Warsaw Marathon is an opportunity to honour outstanding athletes among the runners and also to present special awards. This is precisely what the Zdrofit brand has decided to do.

With its chain of fitness clubs, Zdrofit helps Poles engage in physical activity, which is essential for maintaining fitness, health, and physique, as well as mental well-being. All that leads to a good quality of life. The effort put into physical activity is just as important as the result itself. That’s why Zdrofit will be present at this year’s Warsaw Marathon with the slogan “NAJLEPSZE tempo to twoje własne” (“Your best pace is your own”). Progress is desirable, but you have to start somewhere! During the 45th Nationale-Nederlanden Warsaw Marathon, in addition to the main decorations, participants will have the chance to stand on the Zdrofit podium as well.

Zdrofit wants to recognise individuals who put in their effort, run for personal satisfaction, or are just beginning their running journey and are not yet among the top competitors. During the race, three people who finish beyond the middle of the field, in positions 4,501, 4,502, and 4,503, will be rewarded. Gun time*, which is not the official time, will be taken into account.

During this year’s edition of the Marathon, Zdrofit will also organise a stretching zone at the Runners’ Town. Every participant crossing the finish line will have a chance to take care of their muscles and joints, guided by highly qualified fitness instructors – Ilona Ozimek, Irina Ivchenko, and Marzena Osińska.

You will also be able to meet the Zdrofit team on the race route, where a cheering point for the brand will be set up just before the finish line on the 41st kilometer. Such support on the home stretch will undoubtedly come in handy.

We wish you the best of luck in your races!

*Gun time is the time measured from the starter’s gun to crossing the finish line. Net time is measured from the moment a participant crosses the start line to crossing the finish line.

Look at the medal for the kids and teens

Here’s the medal of the Nationale-Nederlanden Mini Marathon – Little Big Race, taking place on Saturday, September 23.

The kids and teens’ race is held at the same place where adult athletes set off the next day. Emilii Plater street – the heart of Warsaw – will see the youngest runners for the first time. What a fantastic opportunity to feel special and have a great time with peers!

The Mini Marathon comes in quite strict age categories – depending on birth dates, young participants will run different distances. The youngest age category – children up to three years old – can race with a guardian. Everyone gets a beautiful medal at the finish line, and special trophies will be awarded to the best in each category. The street will be closed to car traffic, and our future stars will be able to enjoy a unique marathon setting.

Lots of joy and fun plus some “serious” vibes – time measurement, judges, fans and the award of prizes… Will the Nationale-Nederlanden Mini Marathon be the beginning of your running passion?

At the Runners’ Town – attractions throughout the weekend

Racing is not everything, though. Apart from taking part in Saturday and Sunday runs, we invite whole families and fans to visit the Runners’ Town. On September 23 and 24, a Marathon Fan Zone will be created near the Palace of Culture – a mini-town with attractions for children and all fans. The special fun area will stretch between Marszałkowska and Emilii Plater streets.

In the town you will be able to:

– visit the attractions for children with animators, refreshments and chill zone,
– take part in games and activities with prizes,
– visit the our partners’ special zones, featuring specialist consultations, examinations for runners and expert talks.

Dress up and get dressed!

Who will surprise us this time? On the routes of the 45th Nationale-Nederlanden Warsaw Marathon, Bridgestone Marathon Relay and Nice To Fit You Warsaw 10k, we will be looking out for everyone and everything unusual – unique shapes, colours and ways of moving. Of course, we are talking about masqueraders – people in costumes who – with their creativity and perseverance – set the bar higher and higher from one event to another. Your special transformations don’t always let you  achieve your personal best, but we all know that running is not just about being fast.

We appreciate your ingenuity, courage, the way you stand out from the crowd and the effort you put into covering the route in outfit very distant from running gear. That’s why we want to reward you once again!

Our “Przebierz się i ubierz się” contest (“Dress up and get dressed”) is already a tradition! We are really curious – who’s going to go over the top with their disguise on September 24?
