Marathon de Prague

Prague, the vibrant capital of the Czech Republic, invites runners from around the world to experience its rich history and stunning architecture during the Prague Marathon on May 1, 2027. Nestled in Bohemia's heart, this historic city offers a unique blend of medieval charm and modern flair that promises an unforgettable running adventure.
Join thousands of enthusiastic participants as you navigate through Prague’s winding streets and iconic landmarks. The event attracts runners from over fifty countries, creating a dynamic atmosphere filled with international camaraderie. Last year saw more than 10,000 individual competitors and over 300 relay teams, each adding to the electric energy that defines this race.
The marathon route begins at the heart of Prague's historical center, Old Town Square. From there, you'll follow a course designed to showcase some of Europe’s most breathtaking sights. You’ll run alongside the Vltava River, pass under the historic Charles Bridge, and marvel at landmarks like Saint Vitus Cathedral and Prague Castle. These ancient structures provide not just visual splendor but also a sense of being transported through time.
While the route offers minimal elevation gain overall, it includes 1.5 kilometers on cobblestones within the medieval city center—a challenge that adds character to an otherwise smooth course. This mix ensures that both beginners and seasoned runners can enjoy their experience while respecting Prague’s historic streets.
The race also features a shorter event for young athletes: a 4.2 km kids' run, perfect for families looking to participate together or simply cheer on the next generation of runners.
Beyond the marathon itself, Prague offers endless opportunities to explore its rich cultural heritage and natural beauty. Visit the Prague Zoo, covering 45 hectares with thousands of animals, or delve into history at Old Town Hall, home to one of Europe’s oldest still-functioning medieval clocks. Lesser Town, a picturesque neighborhood crossed by ancient royal routes, invites you to discover traditional Czech cuisine in its charming shops and restaurants.
Whether you’re running solo, as part of a relay team, or bringing the family for the kids' race, this event promises an experience that will leave lasting memories. Prepare yourself for one of the most scenic marathons on offer, where every step takes you through Prague’s storied past and vibrant present.
Join us in May 2027 to embrace the spirit of adventure and discovery at the heart of Europe's greatest city!
