We at RunCzech are writing to say thank you. Thank you for waking up every day, lacing up your shoes, and running. We also thank you for the support you’ve shown us over the past year. The messages you sent, sending your love to Prague and other beautiful cities around the Czech Republic, hoping that we’d meet again soon really helped to keep us motivated.

Since our last race in October, we have not stopped working. We are currently working to create a calendar of safe 2021 RunCzech events. And we are in communication with local health officials, plus local and international authorities in sport, politics, and technology companies who, like us, are determined to get runners back on track.

We have traditionally started the season in the Czech Republic with the Sportisimo Prague Half Marathon in March. This year, because of lingering safety issues, we have decided to organize it on 5 September 2021.

As a reward for your patience we have decided to turn that weekend into a Running Festival called “The Running Games”. In addition to the Half Marathon, we’ll also host a 5 km, and a 10 km race. More information will be provided in the next few months. But the excitement is already building, and we already know it will be magical.

As for our legendary Volkswagen Prague Marathon and other spring races, we’ll be identifying a date soon, and will include that on our events calendar, which will be available sometime in the middle of February.

Once it’s safe, we’ll be flinging the doors open and welcoming you and runners from all over the world. So start getting ready now. Because, just like our runners, time flies!

Best regards

Carlo Capalbo
President of the RunCzech organizing committee

Questions and answers

Will it be necessary to prove by a negative test? Will it be necessary to be vaccinated?

We do not know this yet, unfortunately. We are waiting for the government to decide and then we will apply the rules on our races.

I was counting on the March date, September does not suit me. What can I do?

From Monday January 18, 2021, the person who made the registration will have the opportunity to request the transfer of the registration to 2022 in his/her Runners ID profile, in the section “Registration transfer”.

When are you going to open the registration and announce the 2021 calendar?

We are now working on the calendar and we hope to announce it by February. Thank you for your patience and please follow our social media to get all the important information.
