Disciplines

DECATHLON Relays 2 × 10.5 km

Two legs of 10.5 km, handover in Borský park

Each relay team receives two race numbers, a final chip and one back number marked RELAY (ŠTAFETA). Runner A runs the first leg and hands over with a high five to runner B, who runs the second leg with the chip on their shoe.

After crossing the finish line the team receives two medals. You can put your team together any way you like.

Legs of 5.5 km, 4.5 km, 5.5 km and 5.6 km

A city bus takes runners to the handover points from the corner of Kalikova and Přemyslova streets, 500 m from the start.

DPMP 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.

KONPLAN Family run

Would you like to enjoy the unique atmosphere of a big running event with your loved ones? The 2 km route is open to parents with children, and grandmothers, grandfathers, in fact anyone in the family can join in. The route is easy and can be walked as well.

Every registered participant, adult or child, gets a race number and, after completing the whole route, a Czech Half Marathon medal. The first three men and the first three women will be announced on the podium. The medals are the same as in the main race.
