This year’s race (was 2022) was the first since pre-COVID. I originally signed up for 2020 and the race was rescheduled multiple times until April 2022. This was my first visit to Prague. It was a nice city to visit.
Expo was more of a packet pick-up. There was one vendor there with limited merchandise. The packet pick-up was at the Prague Hilton and there was a shuttle bus to the start line from this hotel. This is NOT the hotel my group stayed at, but we walked to/from the expo as well as the start/finish line.
The race course was nice, but I’ll admit that I expected a little more. Parts of the course weren’t that exciting (but I guess that is true for most races). A not insignificant amount of the course was on cobblestones. My feet definitely were sore after the race. That said – there were definitely sections that were amazing. The people were great.
It was not an expensive city – which was great. We did a food and drink walking tour the day after the race, which was a lot of fun. It is a nice vacation!

Running at the river Moldau!
Good expo! Good atmosphere at the start with classical music! Nice course along the river Moldau. Could definitively offer more drinks as it was very hot and sunny weather - … MORE
Good expo! Good atmosphere at the start with classical music! Nice course along the river Moldau. Could definitively offer more drinks as it was very hot and sunny weather – first drinks at km 6. All in all a nice, but not overwhelming race.

Czechrunning organises a series of all gold labled IAMS races in Czech Republic. Everything is very professional- from registration to packet pick up – everything runs very smoothly. The race is sold out every year, so make sure you register on time. Starting near Carls Bridge the first part of the race leads over cobble stone streets, later asphalt and is mainly flat. In 2017 the female winner Joyciline Jepkosgei was the first woman ever to finish a 21.1km/ 13.1 mile race in less than 65 minutes. Great atmosphere. One of my favourite races.
