They traded their desks for transition zones. Nearly 5,000 employees, run club members, and groups of friends came together at the 20th Onet Relay Marathon!
More than just a sport, more than just a race – the largest outdoor corporate running and team-building event in Poland has come to a close. The past weekend at the AWF Warsaw campus was all about the 20th Onet Relay Marathon.
Nearly 5,000 runners proved that soft skills and teamwork work perfectly not only in the office space but also on the asphalt course.
The twentieth edition of the cult Relay Marathon, organized by the Warsaw Marathon Foundation, debuted this year with a new title sponsor – Onet.. The weather and turnout were phenomenal, and Warsaw’s Bielany district transformed into a vibrant, pulsating sports village. By passing the relay baton with a timing chip, the teams proved that in the Ekiden race format, ultimate triumph is determined by teamwork.
The Giża Team was the fastest to conquer the marathon distance, crossing the finish line in spectacular style and leaving their competitors behind.

– I really wanted to thank you all for this past weekend. It was a beautiful, sunny edition full of crisp energy. Seeing thousands of runners supporting each other on the course and celebrating their successes in the Runner’s Village is the best proof that after 20 years, the Relay Marathon still has an incredible spark – summarizes Magda Skrocka from the Warsaw Marathon Foundation.
Key statistics of the 20th edition:
- 778 relay teams completed the challenge, totaling 4,668 runners on the course.
- In total, the participants covered a distance of over 32,000 kilometers.
Organizing such a massive event would not have been possible without the dedication of hundreds of volunteers and the support of city authorities and partners. The next edition of the Relay Marathon is coming next year!
Thank you, and we are happy to share some selected photos from the event.
