Vodafone Prague Marathon 2026

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.
