Prague International Marathon

Prague International Marathon 2026 is RunCzech’s flagship weekend and one of Europe’s truly iconic city marathons, taking runners straight through Prague’s historic core. The race holds the World Athletics Elite Label and returns for its 31st edition, combining big-race precision, international depth, and the kind of atmosphere only Prague can deliver—especially with a start in Old Town Square and a finish that feels like a citywide celebration.

In 2026, the marathon start time is 08:00 on Sunday, May 3. Saturday is built as a full “marathon weekend” experience too: a relaxed shakeout run, a family mile, and kids races—so the whole trip can feel like an event, not just a single start line. (Note: marathon registration is stated as “only possible with a registration code.”)

• Prague International Marathon — 42.195 km (Sun, May 3)

The main event: a world-class marathon on a prestigious, historic-city course with Elite Label status. It’s the season’s ultimate challenge—run Prague’s most famous streets, feel the scale of a major international field, and earn that finish-line euphoria in one of the world’s great running capitals.

• ČT 2Run Prague Marathon — 2 × 21.0975 km (Sun, May 3)

A relay-style marathon format that lets two runners share the full marathon story. You start in the marathon atmosphere, but each teammate runs a half marathon leg—a perfect option if you want the big-race energy with a split-distance approach (and maybe a stepping stone toward the full marathon next year).

• Prague Marathon – pair — 2 × 42.195 km (Sun, May 3)

A “do it together” marathon category for pairs. You enter as a team of two and take on the marathon in the same elite-event setting—built for runners who want the full Prague marathon experience with a shared team narrative from start to finish.

• Active Breakfast Run — 4.2 km (Sat, May 2)

A relaxed, feel-good shakeout run in Letná Park (Letenské sady)—guided by pacemakers and coaches at an easy pace, with no timing and no racing. It’s designed to calm nerves, meet other runners, and kick off marathon weekend with community energy—plus a free breakfast and coffee afterwards (as described).

• dm family mile — 1.609 km (Sat, May 2)

A non-competitive one-mile route for everyone—kids, parents, grandparents, first-timers, walkers—set inside the atmosphere of a major international marathon weekend. The focus is simple: shared movement, big-event vibes, and a finish medal for the whole family.

• dm bambini run — 100 m / 150 m / 200 m (Sat, May 2)

A kids-focused race designed so the smallest runners can be part of the weekend too. It’s described as free, with each participant receiving a T-shirt, bib number, and a chocolate medal at the finish, with categories split by age.
