The start and finish of the race, which ranks among the top ten marathons in the world, is on Old Town Square in the historic center of Prague. Perhaps no runner will forget the first few strides of the marathon to the sounds of Smetana’s Vltava and more than twenty bands along the route will accompany you to your destination.
The Prague Marathon includes traditional side events, such as the Marathon Music Festival, Sports Expo Fair and the short family Minimarathon. It is exactly a tenth of the race, 4.2 km, and is intended for all who want to be part of the marathon but dare not go the whole marathon distance.
