Running in Warsaw, Poland - city centre, riverside and stadium running route

Today I'm in Poland.  I have meetings starting early tomorrow so I arrived late this afternoon and have the chance for an evening, sightseeing run around Warsaw.  I don't really know much about Warsaw as I've never been before, but on check-in the front desk of my hotel provided me with a Westin Running map (sponsored by New Balance.)  So whilst others are watching Switzerland v Argentina, I am out running the streets and bridges of Warsaw in Poland!

The New Balance Warsaw running map gave me a good start, sending me off towards the park and around the Warsaw old town.  I then extended my Warsaw run by running alongside the river, over the Swietokrzyski bridge to the national stadium, coming back over the Poniatowskiego Bridge and then retracing my early steps to finish back at my hotel.

It was a really nice run.  Running in Warsaw has a lot to look at and good, flat paths.  It was especially nice to get to see the Warsaw stadium (Poland's national stadium) as there is a wide path around it, marked out every 100m - it was great feeling to run around the stadium with other runners and roller bladers!

I took some photos on my Warsaw run, these are the Warsaw sights I saw:
