Wroclaw Marathon

High 20C at the start, sunny sky and 32C at noon. Fast and flat course. These conditions describe the reality of my 4th race in my dear city of Wroclaw. The race was excellent from the beginning to the very end. Beautiful course + fantastic volunteers and spectators - who can ask for more? I will be back. Thank you Wroclaw for an excellent event. Dziekuje, wroce za rok...

This was my third Wroclaw Marathon and definitely I will be back to my city again. The start and finish were located in the historic Olympic Stadium and the overall organization was excellent. The course offered views of the new divisions and bridges and old historical sections of the town. Spectators and volunteers were doing very well especially after the half-point mark. The cold water and energy drinks which they served saved many lives in the hot day. Thank you Wroclaw for another great race. Dziekuje!

It was my first time running the Wroclaw marathon. The organization of the marathon was excellent. I emailed the race director with questions before race day and received a quick reply. Packet pick up was very quick and easy and there was even a medium sized expo (which I didn't expect). On race day, there was parking on site, and the start and finish areas were easy to navigate. Although the course went through a mixture of scenic and not so scenic areas, most of the roads were closed to car traffic, which was a welcome bonus. The last 8km of the course were scenic and had the most spectators, which was great. There were designated cheering sections for spectators at least every mile and a large number of loud spectators came out to cheer us on despite the rain. At the end, every runner received a medal, banana, mylar blanket and bottle of water. There were massage tables too. My only negative points concern the tshirt and post-race food. The tshirt sizes are strange, they seem to be short and wide and don't fit well. For the post-race meal, every runner got a coupon for a bowl of soup (non-vegetarian), a slice of bread and a cup of tea. Though there was food and beer for purchase on site, a greater selection for the athletes' post-race meal would have been welcome.
