Warsaw Marathon 2026: road closures on 26–27 September
Central Warsaw faces closures from Saturday. Check the PKiN area, metro access and Sunday start times before travelling on marathon weekend.
Warsaw Marathon weekend affects city-centre traffic on 26 September 2026, a day before the main race. Anyone heading towards the Palace of Culture and Science should check Saturday restrictions as well as Sunday arrangements.
Saturday road closures
The organizer lists Świętokrzyska between Emilii Plater and Marszałkowska as closed from 10:00 on Friday 25 September until 01:00 on Monday 28 September. Emilii Plater between Aleje Jerozolimskie and Świętokrzyska is scheduled to close from 11:00 Saturday until the end of Sunday.
The car park beneath PKiN will be unavailable. Centrum and Świętokrzyska metro stations are the suggested access points. The linked traffic guide gives the remaining closures, including Sunday restrictions.
Sunday race start times
The municipal Warszawa 19115 service lists the marathon start on Świętokrzyska at 09:00 on Sunday 27 September. The Warsaw 10K starts at 10:00. Saturday’s Mini Marathon is scheduled in Świętokrzyski Park from 11:00 to 16:00.
Planning your journey
Our practical suggestion is to compare your route with the organizer’s map and current public-transport notices before setting out. Allow time to walk, especially when connecting with a train. Scheduled closures describe planned restrictions; they do not provide a live traffic map.
