nationale nederlanden maraton warszawski warszawa
The Nationale-Nederlanden Warsaw Marathon is a full road marathon held in Warsaw, typically on the last Sunday of September. It is Poland's oldest annual marathon, taking place since 1979, and is part of the Crown of Polish Marathons alongside events in Debno, Krakow, Poznan, and Wroclaw. Fundacja Maraton Warszawski organizes the marathon, with current course records at 2:08:17 for men and 2:28:35 for women. The race originated as the "1st Marathon of Peace," with an initial course measuring 40.6 km. Polish runners were prominent in the early years, but the field became more international following the fall of communism. The marathon has also hosted the Polish Marathon National Championships for men and women in different years.
