Like every year, this year we are getting high school students running! 2025 is here and we are ready to push the boundaries. Assemble your team, join us and overcome your limits together! 4 km? You can do it!
The 27th Junior Marathon is a relay race for high schools. A team of 10 members works together to cover a marathon course (42.195 km). Each student runs their own section and the entire team tries to reach the finish line before their opponents.
From the semi-final rounds, the best teams will advance to the final, which will be held as part of the Prague Marathon on May 4, 2025! Due to its scope, the Junior Marathon has become the largest running race for high schools in the Czech Republic. Together, we want to get as many students running as possible. Don’t hesitate and register your school now. Participation in the Junior Marathon is completely free.
We look forward to seeing you!
