A medal for every finisher

The hand-made metal medal by the TKP design studio is one of the details Czech Half Marathon has always taken pride in. It is more than a finisher’s reward: it is a collector’s piece with careful craftsmanship, thoughtful design and a clear idea behind it. Every year we want the medal to have the quality and style that match the whole event. And the best part: you can write your time on the ribbon with a marker.

Disciplines

DECATHLON Relays 2 × 10.5 km

Two legs of 10.5 km

Each relay team receives two race numbers with chips and one back number marked RELAY (ŠTAFETA), so other runners can tell it is a relay team. Each team member has their own time measured.

Runner A runs the first leg and hands over with a high five to runner B, who runs the second leg. After crossing the finish line the team receives two medals.

The handover takes place on the other side of the Labe (Elbe) from the start, at the so-called Náplavka.

You can put your team together any way you like. It does not matter who is listed first at registration.

Kids Cup

Children’s races up to 14 years

The children’s races take place on loops close to the start and finish. Children start by category, so they always know exactly where they placed. A loop is 400 m long; the older the category, the more loops.

Besides a great experience, every participant takes home a commemorative medal. The top three in each category can look forward to prizes from the event partners.

Categories are based on year of birth, not month. To speed up race-pack collection, please print the parental consent form.
