Environmental Exposure Detail
Warsaw Marathon is a 42K marathon race in Warsaw, sending competitors along a fast route through streets full of modern beauty and landmarks. Covering the classic marathon distance, it demands thorough preparation and pacing. Warsaw is where your dreams run true, and it's one of the European Marathon Classics' iconic races — with the longest unbroken streak of any race in the series, held every year since 1979.
Held in late September, weed and mould are the typical autumn concern, generally at moderate levels. On the city streets, vehicle exhaust is usually the bigger air quality factor than pollen, especially along busier boulevards and bridge crossings, while stretches through parks and along the Vistula riverside may offer a welcome break in air quality. With a route this long, even small differences can add up over the full 42 kilometers. The local Airmine forecast along the course shows expected air quality exposure every 200 meters, helping you pace smart and protect your lungs over the distance. Push limits, not lungs!

Frequently Asked Questions
Where is air quality worst on the Warsaw Marathon route?
Based on today's forecast, PM2.5 is forecast at good levels along the route today (15.4/100). Air quality is at its worst after 9.1 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 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 season?
September coincides with peak grass 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 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, 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/mold exposure is expected to be minimal. |
| Low | 0-25 | Low risk of exposure. Small amounts of pollen or mold spores may be present. |
| Moderate | 25-50 | Moderate risk of exposure. Pollen/mold exposure is expected to be noticeable. |
| High | 50-75 | High risk of exposure. Elevated pollen/mold exposure is expected. |
| Very High | 75-100 | Very high risk of exposure. Pollen/mold 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. |
