She first gained recognition in 2007 when she finished eighth in the 5000-meter race at the European Junior Championships in Hengelo. That same year, she also competed in the World Cross Country Championships. Her career is filled with national accolades, as she has won four gold, eight silver, and five bronze medals at the Polish Senior Championships. She has also showcased her talent at the European Cross Country Championships in both 2007 and 2008. Izabela’s consistency and determination have made her one of Poland’s top long-distance runners, and her experience will surely be an asset to the team.

Mateusz Kaczor is one of Poland’s fastest marathon runners, he has firmly established his name in the country’s marathon history. In 2023, he clocked an impressive 2:09:35 at the Seville Marathon, making him the third-fastest marathon runner in Polish history. He trails only legendary runners Henryk Szost and Grzegorz Gajdus. His outstanding performance puts him just 12 seconds away from moving up to second place, making him one of the most exciting athletes to watch at this year’s Warsaw Marathon.
