The Warsaw Half Marathon (Polish: Półmaraton Warszawski[3][a]) is an annual road-based half marathon hosted by Warsaw, Poland, since 2006.[5][3][6] The marathon is a World Athletics Label Road Race and a member of the Association of International Marathons and Distance Races.[1][7] A 5K race is also held on the same day, before the half marathon.[8][9]
The half marathon is the second-largest footrace in Poland by number of finishers, after the Polish Independence Run in Warsaw.[10][b]
History
The inaugural event was held on 26 March 2006.[3] Nearly 1,100 people took part in the half marathon, which was won by Kenyan runner Michael Karonei and Polish runner Małgorzata Jamróz, with finish times of 1:04:12 and 1:14:47, respectively.[3]

The half marathon runs on a point-to-point course that begins and ends outside Stadion Narodowy.[12] The course starts at the eastern end of Poniatowski Bridge south of the stadium, and ends near the Warszawa Stadion railway station north of the stadium.[12]
Runners first head west to cross the bridge over the Vistula River.[12] The course then heads north, past Castle Square, up to the northern border of the neighbourhood of Marymont, around where the halfway point is crossed.[12] Runners then head back south and pass the Warsaw Citadel before crossing the Vistula again, at Gdańsk Bridge.[12] The course then continues south, passing the Warsaw Zoo before finishing outside the stadium.[12]
