Course overview
The marathon course is one of the most beautiful in Europe. It runs through Prague’s historic centre, along the Vltava and across seven bridges. The Marathon Music Festival adds 19 music points along the way – no shortage of energy.
Overview of historic buildings along the course can be found here.
The Marathon Expo
Starts on Friday at 10:00 at Výstaviště, in the Křižík Pavilions B, C and D. It’s open Friday and Saturday from 10:00 to 20:00.
Bib pickup for the dm family mile runs from 8:00 to 13:30. It now moves to Pavilion D to better distribute visitor flow.
Pavilions B and C host pickup for the main marathon. We’ve expanded the distribution counters from 15 to 25 metres and split them into men’s and women’s sections. We’ve also added more pickup stations and staff so the whole process runs as smoothly as possible.
The outdoor space between the pavilions has more facilities and seating – especially with the warm weather expected. Access to the Expo now leads through Stromovka park around the Planetarium, making arrival smoother and more comfortable.
Don’t leave your bib pickup until the last minute. Arrive in good time.
Legends
We’ll also welcome seven running legends who have completed every edition so far. This year they run their 30th Prague Marathon. Their stories show just how special this race and its community are.
Our main charity partner is Světluška
A long-term project of the Czech Radio Foundation supporting people with severe visual impairments. Thanks to runners and partners, Světluška brings real help and light into the lives of those who need it most.
Vodafone joins this year as the new title partner
It brings new ways for runners and fans to connect with the race. At km 35, a Vodafone cheering point will feature a large screen displaying motivational messages for runners.
Families, friends and supporters can join in – and send energy exactly when runners need it most.
