Since the start of the #IRunWell initiative, over 10,000 people have participated, raising more than 8 million PLN for charitable organizations. The highlight of the campaign is set to take place during the last weekend of September in the capital, with two major races.
“Charity running events are incredibly popular worldwide. We are proud to see growing interest in similar events here in Poland year after year. These actions engage everyone – both runners and those who can’t participate directly. Those who don’t run can support participants by donating to a chosen charity. The runners, on the other hand, run not only for themselves but also for the charitable organization they support with their effort. Through the #IRunWell initiative, they gain a sense of fulfilled mission and added value from their training and participation. It’s a unique initiative that unites people, supports noble causes, and brings immense joy,” says Magda Skrocka, COO at the “Warsaw Marathon” Foundation.
Got your fundraising campaign? Remember to raise the minimum amount!
You have until the end of August to gather the minimum amount! Reaching this goal guarantees you a special orange-colored race number as a gift. Share your campaign again on social media, reach out to your colleagues, or contribute the remaining amount yourself to secure your spot on the starting list.
If you don’t manage to raise the minimum amount by the end of the month, you’ll still have the option to register through the traditional path.
Do you want to join a unique community? Support a charity that’s close to your heart!
If anyone is looking for extra motivation to participate in the 46th Nationale-Nederlanden Warsaw Marathon or the Nice To Fit You Warsaw 10K, taking place on the last weekend of September in the capital, then the #IRunWell campaign is perfect for you!
So far, nearly a thousand people have registered for both September races through the charity pathway. How can you join them?
Simply register for the race at your chosen distance via the charity pathway. Choose one of the participating charitable organizations and set up a virtual fundraiser, encouraging your friends and family to donate to a cause that matters to you. Once you’ve raised the minimum amount specified in the regulations, you’ll receive your race package. Your number will be special – you’ll run with a distinctive orange race number! Additionally, you’ll enjoy surprises from your chosen charity and a massage area after the race.
Compete for an Extra Prize from Nationale-Nederlanden
Your virtual fundraising doesn’t stop once you reach the minimum amount – it continues! The closer the race gets, the more motivation there is to donate. Participants are getting creative and coming up with fun ways to promote their campaigns and encourage contributions. You can also top up your fundraiser on your own. All funds raised will be donated to the charity you’ve chosen to support. Moreover, as in previous years, the title sponsor of the marathon, Nationale-Nederlanden, will reward the highest fundraisers. It’s worth striving for that extra financial boost!
“For the third time, we are participating in the #IRunWell campaign, which brings us great joy and satisfaction. Once again, as Nationale-Nederlanden, we will donate 5, 10, and 15 thousand PLN to the top three fundraisers in the marathon distance. We are happy to provide financial assistance to charitable organizations that offer care and support to those in need every day. By doing this, we promote selfless help and cheer on the marathon runners who have taken on the challenge of running over 40 kilometers,” says Marta Pokutycka-Mądrala, Corporate Communications Director and Spokesperson at Nationale-Nederlanden.
Registration for the races, including the charity pathway, takes place in the Runner’s Panel:
