Prague Marathon 2026 race recap

Prague Half marathon is the 5th Super Halfs in my Journey – being fortunate enough to get a place in the ballot.

A fantastic city – a great mix of new and (very) old along with great value beer and food. With a metro and tram system, public transport is the perfect way to get to the expo and start line.

As the race is on a Saturday, there is also the chance to do the “double” of Berlin and Prague on the same weekend (logistics allowing).

However, enough about that, let’s talk about the race! The route is a lovely course taking on many landmarks along the old town and river. Relatively flat with really only the bridges taking in any elevation changes. At times, the cobbles and tramlines make for some conscientious running, but overall – great running.

Well supported throughout (not quite of that of Cardiff)  but enough music, people and spots to keep you entertained.

As we flew in Thursday, we visited the expo to pick up the bibs first thing Friday – it was already a little busy and apparently there were long queues later that Friday – race numbers were also available to be picked up on race morning (usually not a thing!) As well as your bib, you also were given a headband AND packable bag. REALLY good! 

We were further back in the pen, and it took us about 10 minutes or so before we hit the startline after the gun went off – no issues, we were in no rush. Check the video for all the highlights and atmosphere!

I ran in the new Furious Future, carbon plated shoe. They performed well (as expected) and thank you to 361 Europe for their continued support as an ambassador.
