Running Doctors
New for 2026: the Running Doctors project. Eight doctors will run the race, combining medical expertise with running experience.
They’ll be spread across the course by pace and can step in immediately if needed. Sport, health and solidarity – we run together.
Along the marathon course, there will be 12 refreshment and hydration stations (runners will pass through them 16 times in total—on average every 2.6 km), plus an additional station at the finish.
At each station, runners are provided with Mattoni water, while refreshment stations also offer Gatorade isotonic drink, bananas and oranges, as well as salt and sugar.
Please dispose of all waste in the designated areas and directly into the containers to ensure more efficient recycling.
Tomorrow belongs to families and everyone who wants to enjoy running without competitive pressure.
Look forward to the Lavazza Breakfast Run (9:30, Letná), the dm family mile (15:00) and the dm bambini run (16:00). Come enjoy the atmosphere with our youngest participants.
At the start we’ll welcome a number of distinguished guests and sports personalities.
Among them will be Olympic champion Martin Fuksa, influencers from Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Chile, Germany and Spain, as well as David Luu, Vladimír Netušil, a Formula 3 driver, and Petr Vabroušek.
At the start of the dm Family Mile, the warm-up will be led by Martin Fuksa, and the race will be started by Barbora Strýcová together with the mascot of the 2026 Children and Youth Olympics.
