Information on Registration Fees from the 2026 Season

To keep conditions fair and transparent for all runners, the registration fees will change.

Starting with the 2026 season, the fee amount will be based on the total value of your order (see the table below). If you add any additional products to your registration, your order may move into a higher price category, and the system will always display the updated fee no later than in your order summary.

The fee structure shown below has already been valid since the 2025 season. However, to avoid a sudden increase for runners between 2024 and 2025, RunCzech has been covering part of the cost per participant until now. That’s why this change will only take effect from 2026.

You can pick up your race number at the Marathon Expo, where race numbers for competitive runs are distributed. It’s not necessary for each participant to come in person – one parent can pick up the numbers for the whole family. You will be asked to present an ID card or another form of identification. To collect numbers for other runners, it’s enough to provide their names or the order number.

Along with your race number, you will also receive a starter pack.


Technical Area

Due to capacity limitations, technical facilities and a baggage storage area are not available for participants of the dm family mile and dm bambini run.


Starting corridors dm family mile

The start will take place on the T. G. Masaryka from 4:00 p.m. You can find exact transport connections on the website of the Karlovy Vary Public Transport Company.

The start is in waves, with the first ones to start are the children themselves, who dare to run without their parents. Then the whole families start at a faster pace, followed by the slower runners. The last ones to start are the runners who are more likely to walk the route, families with strollers, small children on balance bikes, etc.

The division is for the safety of all runners, and for the best experience for children, who can really compete and give it their all.


Finish

At the finish line nábř. Osvobození , each participant will receive a medal and a small snack. We ask that you continue smoothly into the corridor after the finish line and not prevent other competitors from completing the race.
