The popular Sportisimo 1/2 Marathon Prague, which will start from the Rudolfinum on Saturday, April 2, will run with a strong message of peace. „We are organizing a big event in the middle of a difficult situation and we cannot ignore it. We are broadcasting footage from the Prague Half Marathon to hundreds of countries, and we want to tell the world that those who run do not fight,“ says Carlo Capalbo, President of RunCzech. The organizers will give runners, for example, symbolic bracelets in Ukrainian colors before the start. Dozens of starting places have become available for the current Prague Half Marathon, which are available at www.runczech.cz/registrace.
Once again, after a two-year covid restrictions, runners will stand at the start of the start line of Sportisimo Prague Half Marathon. There are expected about 11,000 participants, led by elite Czech and world athletes. As in other sports events, there will be a lack of professional competitors from Russia and Belarus. The charities with which RunCzech has been cooperating for a long time also plan to show solidarity with those who need it most. “We invite not only lovers of long runs, but also spectators to the center of Prague on Saturday, April 2, to create a real cheering backdrop around the track in the center of Prague,” adds Carlo Capalbo.
The otherwise hopelessly sold-out Sportisimo 1/2 Marathon Prague offers several spare registrations due to the difficult postcovid period. The price starts at 1,500 Czech crowns. “Those interested in the April race must be really fast, there are several dozen starting numbers on the registration website – we checked the actual number of runners from last year’s registrations, which were transferred to this year due to the lockdown,” explains Carlo Capalbo, adding that participants can also look forward to the surprise in the form of the adidas branded t-shirt from the limited edition All Runners Are Beautiful as a thank you for two years of waiting for the races.
