Mattoni Ústí nad Labem Half Marathon

Mattoni Running Festival Ústí nad Labem brings a full day of running to a city built for speed. On September 19, 2026, the streets of Ústí nad Labem turn into a fast, mostly flat race circuit with a mix of urban scenery and surprising local landmarks — including a section that can pass through an industrial area/chemical plant, making this event unlike a typical city run. The festival is known for quick times and personal bests, but it’s also made for groups and families: choose a short, friendly start in the morning, a non-competitive family mile, or the headline half marathon and relay in the afternoon. Expect a lively race-day atmosphere, smooth pacing conditions, and views toward the surrounding hills of the Central Bohemian Uplands.

• 10K Run Ústí nad Labem (10 km) — Start 09:00

A perfect choice if you want a fast 10K on a course designed for steady rhythm and strong splits. This route is known for being very flat and smooth, with no cobblestones, which makes it ideal for a first 10K race or a serious PB attempt. You’ll run through the city with scenic viewpoints along the way, supported by the festival crowd and race-day energy — all before lunchtime.

• dm Family Mile (1.609 km) — Start 11:00

A relaxed, non-competitive mile for everyone — kids, parents, grandparents, and first-time runners. You can jog or walk, enjoy the big-event atmosphere, and share the finish-line moment together. It’s a great warm-up before the afternoon races and a fun way to make race day a family outing. All participants receive a finisher medal, so even the smallest runners get the full “race” experience.

• Mattoni Ústí nad Labem Half Marathon (21.097 km) — Start 14:30

The flagship race of the day — a half marathon built for speed. The course is famously quick and often delivers standout times thanks to its flat profile and flowing sections through the city. What makes Ústí special is the variety: you get classic urban kilometers plus a memorable segment that can go through a local industrial/chemical area, then back to open views toward the surrounding uplands. If you want a half marathon that feels fast, different, and highly atmospheric, this is the one.

• Half Marathon Relay Ústí nad Labem — Start 14:30

Distance: 3 × 5 km + 1 × 6.0975 km
Run the half marathon as a team and share the effort across four legs. The relay keeps the same fast, flat character as the main half marathon, but adds the fun of teamwork, handovers, and cheering each other on. It’s ideal for clubs, colleagues, and friends who want the headline experience without running all 21.1 km solo — and still enjoy the unique route and festival-level finish.

• dm Bambini Run (100 m / 150 m / 200 m) — Start 14:45

Short, joyful kids’ races designed so even the youngest athletes can be part of the festival. Distances are grouped by age, and the focus is on fun, movement, and a safe first racing experience. Entry is free, and every child gets a t-shirt, bib number, and a chocolate-style finisher medal at the finish. Places are limited, so early registration matters.
