Runners’ favorite team race – the Prague Relay – newly bearing the title name of RunCzech’s partner UniCredit Bank, is returning to the capital city of Czech Republic, after three years. This unique race, in which a 4-member team of friends or colleagues can complete four-times-five-kilometers will take place on June 23rd at 6pm starting from the Prague’s Exhibition Hall in the huge Stromovka Park. “The Prague Relay is a celebration of running and life. It’s a great combination of healthy activity and fun during a beautiful summer day, “says Carlo Capalbo, president of RunCzech, the organizer of the popular Sportisimo Prague Half Marathon and Volkswagen Prague Marathon.
UniCredit Prague Relay is one of the most popular races due to the amazing atmosphere that prevails during the event. All you have to do is to build a team of four colleagues from work or friends and start on the twenty-kilometer course, while each of the team member must run a quarter.
However, within the entry fee, participants will get much more than “just a race”. They can approach the event as a teambuilding, bachelor party or school meeting after several years, or use to promote a project. And after the run, everyone will enjoy a Picnic Box full of healthy and tasty products from the event’s partners. Runners will also receive a picnic blanket and a unique RunCzech backpack and a RunCzech racing T-shirt. And if they have the strength left, they can enjoy an evening of music and party. For special cases and occasions, it is also possible to order a fully equipped Team Box at the start/finish line for 50 visitors, catered by Hilton Prague, which will guarantee the comfort of the entire team and guests.
The nearby Running Mall training center is available even before the race for everyone who wants to be well prepared for the UniCredit Prague Relay.
Runners and companies can register in the so called ‘Open’ categories, which put in special categories representatives of banks and members of the Czech Bank Association (Bank Cup), employees of Integrated Rescue System (IZS Cup), members and employees of Chambers of Commerce (Chambers Cup) and members and staff of foreign diplomatic missions, consular posts and cultural centers of foreign states (Diplomatic Cup). “We chose the name ‘Open’ because of our open and digital approach to financial services, which allows people to get a checking account, a consumer loan or apply for a mortgage easily and quickly from anywhere they want. Simplicity, speed, and openness for everyone are attributes that also belong to running sports,” explains Tomáš Drábek, director of retail and private banking at UniCredit Bank, the title partner of the event.
The dm Bambini Run will make sure the little ones can participate and enjoy the event too. The run is completely free of charge and each kid will get a t-shirt, start number and a medal at the finish. The race course is modified from 100 to 200 meters, depending on the age categories.
The Main Partner of the whole race is Johnny Servis, the company that will take care of the overall technical event delivery, such as, among else, the fencing of the course, the system of stands, sanitary facilities and toilets.
