Environmental Exposure Detail
Nice To Fit You Warsaw 10K is a 10-kilometer race through the heart of Warsaw, starting and finishing at the foot of the Palace of Culture and Science on Świętokrzyska Street. The route connects the city's left and right banks, taking runners through Nowy Świat, across the Poniatowski Bridge, and along the Vistula River, with a taste of the Praga district before heading back via Krucza and Szpitalna streets. With long straightaways and iconic landmarks like the Palm Tree and the National Museum along the way, it's Warsaw in a nutshell — running and sightseeing in one.
Pollen is generally lower in autumn, though weeds and mould can still linger. On the city streets, vehicle exhaust is usually the bigger air quality factor than pollen, especially along busier stretches like Aleje Jerozolimskie and Waszyngtona Avenue, while crossing the Vistula may offer a brief breath of fresher air. At 10K, the pace is quick and the effort is high — the local Airmine forecast along the route shows expected air quality exposure every 200 meters, helping you push the pace with confidence. Push limits, not lungs!

Frequently Asked Questions
Where is air quality worst on the Warsaw Marathon 10k route?
Based on today's forecast, O3 is forecast at good levels along the route today (16.8/100). Air quality is at its worst after 2.4 km into the route. Airmine calculates exposure at 200m intervals along the course using satellite-derived atmospheric data.
Where is pollen highest on the Warsaw Marathon 10k course?
Pollen exposure peaks at km 0.0 today. This changes through the season as different pollen species become active.
When is pollen worst during the Warsaw Marathon 10k season?
September coincides with peak mugwort season. Grass pollen typically rises in May-June.
How often is this forecast updated?
Updated four times daily. See the timestamp below for the most recent update.
Are pollen levels in Warsaw Marathon 10k based on measurements or forecasts?
Pollen data is often misunderstood. Most "pollen levels" are not real-time measurements, but forecasts.
Direct pollen measurements are typically delayed by 1-2 days because they require manual analysis. To show current conditions in Warsaw Marathon 10k, modern forecasts combine recent measurements, weather data, and information about local vegetation.
This allows us to estimate pollen levels for today and the coming days, not just report the past.
Airmine’s atmospheric monitoring platform was developed with support from the European Space Agency (ESA)’s Business Applications and Space Solutions (BASS) team, using satellite and Earth observation technologies to improve emissions monitoring.
Understanding the Scale
The 0–100 scores represent risk levels, not direct measurements of pollen or air pollutant concentrations. Higher scores indicate higher risk. Pollen and air quality use different thresholds.
Pollen
| None | 0 | No or negligible risk of exposure. Pollen exposure is expected to be minimal. |
| Low | 0-25 | Low risk of exposure. Small amounts of pollen may be present. |
| Moderate | 25-50 | Moderate risk of exposure. Pollen exposure is expected to be noticeable. |
| High | 50-75 | High risk of exposure. Elevated pollen exposure is expected. |
| Very High | 75-100 | Very high risk of exposure. Pollen exposure is expected to be at or near its highest levels. |
Air Quality
| Good | 0-20 | Low air quality risk. Air quality is expected to be good, with low levels of pollution. |
| Fair | 20-40 | Generally low air quality risk. Air quality is expected to be acceptable, with some pollution present. |
| Moderate | 40-60 | Moderate air quality risk. Air pollution is elevated and air quality may be less favorable. |
| Poor | 60-80 | High air quality risk. Air pollution is high and air quality is expected to be poor. |
| Very Poor | 80-100 | Very high air quality risk. Air pollution is very high and air quality is expected to be very poor. |
