Pro tips

Flat but Not Free
The half marathon is listed as flat, with 90 m of total climb over 21km. Treat it as a steady effort rather than a hill-free jog; gentle rises can still bite late.

Monument Checkpoints
You pass Wawel Castle, Cloth Hall, Barbican, Florian Gate, St Mary's Basilica and more. Use these landmarks as mental checkpoints instead of weaving across the road for photos.

Dim Indoor Finish
The finish line is in the darkened TAURON Arena Kraków. After open streets, the dim hall can disrupt rhythm, so keep your cadence and form steady to the line.
