The Praska 5K Run will begin at 7:30 pm, with participants running a loop featuring key landmarks. The half marathon follows at 8:30 pm, winding through central Warsaw and crossing the Wisła River. All running routes will remain closed throughout the event.
Bridge Closures and Alternative Routes
The Świętokrzyski Bridge will close at 7 pm and reopen by 9:30 pm, with vehicles redirected. The Poniatowski Bridge, another critical racing route, will temporarily deny eastbound traffic late into the night, with diversions for local residents planned.
