Warsaw. Walkers in the historic heart of the capital

The meeting will be the official Polish championship in sports walking for women and men over a distance of 20 kilometers. The competition will take place in the historic heart of the capital, around the Grand Theater – National Opera and Piłsudski Square. The competitors will start from Teatralny Square, then go through Wierzbowa Street, through Piłsudskiego Square, turn around at Królewska Street and go back through Piłsudskiego Square, Focha and Moliera Streets. On the same route, apart from experienced athletes, there will also be amateurs who will be able to try their hand at mass marching.
