The runners raised over 7 million złoty for charity action #BiegamDobrze since 2015. And that is just the beginning of running for charity in Poland!

You run, because it is your passion. You enjoy collecting kilometres, searching for new challenges and races. Thanks to running you are healthy and fit, you can feel the thrill of rivalry and the joy of recreation in good company. Now you can also help others while running. Take up the challenge! Help others doing what you like best – running! We are introducing to Poland a new model of running for charity tested and successfully used on the world’s biggest events where the runners themselves are engaged in collecting funds for important for them charities. It will only depend on you how many people you will encourage  to support the organisation of your choice  and what effect you will achieve.

Running for charity in the world

Running for charity is a very popular way to help. The number of runners collecting funds for charity began to exceed the number of non-charity runners in the most prestigious events such as the marathons in London or New York City. The largest charity event in the world is the London Marathon – since 1981 its participants have raised more than  £600 million  for charity!

Our charity partners

You have an opportunity to actively support the operation of one of our nine partner organizations: Amnesty International, Empowering Children Foundation, SYNAPSIS Foundation, NON IRON, Rak’n’Roll – Win Your Life! Foundation, Premature Parents to Parents Foundation, Spartanie Dzieciom, PAH, Na Ratunek Fundation. Choose a cause that is close to your heart and contribute to it running in the 44th Warsaw Marthon!

How does it work?

1. Register for the race choosing one of two paths. You can participate in the race in the “ordinary way” – by paying the entry fee and just getting ready for the race. Yet you can do much more – get involved in collecting funds for one of ten partner charity organisations.
2. Choosing the latter path i.e. “charity path” during the registration, you will create the profile of your fund raising. With the use of this profile your friends, family, neighbours and other runners will be able to donate money and support your participation in the race. You will also get the access to charity runner guidebook with information on how to raise money that will also show you that collecting money for charity does not have to be hard and gives you the joy of helping others.
3. When the counter on your profile will show 450 PLN, the money will be transferred to the bank account of the organisation of your choice and you will get your starting number from that organisation. You have to collect the sum of 450 PLN until August 31st, yet you can continue money raising until October 5th.
4. That’s not it! You can set your own goal – challenge yourself to do something when you manage to reach a specific amount of money. Make it fun and encourage your friends to take part in it.
5. Collect your race kit in the race office of 44th Warsaw Marathon. The organisation of your choice will do its best to make you feel that your run means something more than just participation in a race.

What if you fail?

There is no chance for that! If you do not manage to raise 450 PLN until the deadline – the money collected will be transferred to the organisation anyway and you will still have time to register for the race in the ordinary way, pay the entry fee and participate in the race.

Take up the challenge, contribute to cause close to your heart by running in 44th Warsaw Marathon and enjoy double victory at the finish line!

2. Log in to the REGISTRATION page. The starting round selection form will appear automatically after logging in.
3. Those participants that declared that they were fully vaccinated were automatically assigned to the first starting round at 8:00 AM (no need to choose your starting round then). However, those participants can change their starting round after registration.

– If you are fully vaccinated and you want to participate in the first round – there’s nothing else that you need to do

The FMW team

Dear runners,
On the last weekend of September, Warsaw will welcome you extra cheerfully!

On September 26th, both 43. Warsaw Marathon and 15. Warsaw Half Marathon will take place on Warsaw streets. We know how long you’ve been waiting for the jubilee edition of the Half Marathon. Today, we are happy and excited to say that we are waiting for you on the starting line!

Both Marathon and Half Marathon will commence at different locations but will share the finish line. You can find routes of both races on our event web pages.

But that’s not all – thanks to the well-executed logistic work, support from the city authorities, and involvement of participants that filled out our questionnaire, we are able to run additional registration for our events!

The registration is now open with 1000 extra spaces for Warsaw Marathon and 2500 extra slots for Warsaw Half Marathon. We know that there are those among you that registered for both races. Thank you so much for choosing our events! We really hope you’ll understand and support us here – we did our absolute best to organize both running events still in 2021, events that everyone anticipates so much.

HERE is where you can find all information on choosing your race and registering etc. This year, we will meet with you only once, but this day will be remarkable andthe one to remember!

For the past few months, along with other event coordinators, we worked really hard on making mass-running events happen. The current laws and regulations finally make it possible for us to go ahead with organizing 15. Warsaw Half Marathon – an event that thousands of runners have been waiting for since spring of 2020.

Considering the current state of the epidemic, requirements to follow the sanitary regime, and a tight calendar of events organized in the city, we believe that the decision of organizing both Marathon and Half Marathon on the same date is the right one. It also gives our events the highest chance to actually happen in 2021.

With a new date for the Half Marathon, we make it possible for those with double entries to choose which running event they want to take part in on September 26th. In order to do so, you need to fill out a form that’s available for you upon logging into the REGISTRATION PANEL.

Both races will be organized in alignment with current restrictions. You will find all details regarding registrations, races, and answers to FAQ in our IMPORTANT INFORMATION sheet.

For the past couple of months we have been pushed to adjust to the ever-changing reality and for this whole time, we felt your support. We are now excited and happy to invite you to our incomparable running events!
