Second edition of the New Balance race
The Warsaw Half Marathon and the New Balance race were simultaneously held for the first time in 2022. Last year’s edition of the race gathered more than 2,000 participants and was one of the 10 largest running events in Warsaw and the third largest 5km race! It is sure that the next edition will gather even more runners.
Fast and comfortable route
The High Five Race by New Balance will take place on a spectacular and fast route, with a start on Konwiktorska Street near Warsaw’s New Town, and a finish line on the wide Wislostrada River and a running town in the Multimedia Fountain Park. The route will lead along Adama Mickiewicza Street all the way to Wilson Square, followed by a long run down on Zygmunt Krasinski Street that will allow to speed up or to catch a second breath – and finally a long straight line to the finish line will await the runners.
