Dear Residents,
On Saturday, 19 September 2026, Ústí nad Labem will welcome the 16th edition of the Mattoni 1/2Maraton Ústí nad Labem, part of the Mattoni Running Festival. This prestigious race, held in accordance with World Athletics and European Athletics rules and supported by the Statutory City of Ústí nad Labem, brings thousands of runners and visitors from the Czech Republic and abroad to our city every year.
The Mattoni Running Festival Ústí nad Labem is a celebration of running that, alongside the half marathon, will also feature a 10K race, the dm Family Mile and a rich accompanying programme, including live music performances.
Unfortunately, hosting such a major sporting event also involves temporary traffic restrictions. We therefore kindly ask for your patience and understanding during the necessary road closures that will be implemented throughout the day.
At the same time, we warmly invite you to become part of the unique atmosphere of this celebration of running – come and cheer on the runners, enjoy the accompanying programme and join us in experiencing another edition of this exceptional sporting event.
Petr Nedvědický, Mayor of the Statutory City of Ústí nad Labem
Carlo Capalbo, Chairman of the RunCzech Organising Committee
