PRESS RELEASE 11 March 2020 The 22nd Sportisimo Prague Half Marathon is postponed Tuesday morning was not easy for the organizers of the RunCzech running events. The Czech government has decided to ban until further notice all cultural, sporting and social events with participation over 100 people. This first RunCzech event of 2020 organized in the Czech Republic, the Sportisimo Prague Half Marathon was scheduled for Saturday, 28 March. The expected participation was 11,500 runners plus thousands of volunteers and fans. After long internal debates, it was decided to postpone the race to another date later this year. The new date will be announced as soon as possible on the official website www.runczech.com and other RunCzech channels. “Due to recent circumstances around the world and in the Czech Republic, to limit the spreading is the appropriate effort taken. Health is always the priority. I thank to my colleagues, volunteers and everyone involved in the race preparation for their enthusiasm. Mainly enormous thanks go to all the runners. I wish we can meet soon” said RunCzech race director Václav Skřivánek. The organizers have been preparing the race since last year’s June, when the registrations opened. Runners that are registered for the race do not have to report anywhere or confirm their participation in the postponed race - all start numbers together with the additional services like T-shirt or medal engraving will be automatically transferred to the new date. The next RunCzech race - Volkswagen Prague Marathon – remains as it was scheduled for May 3. RunCzech will provide updates latest on 31 March. The new date of the Sportisimo Prague Half Marathon 2020 will be announced on www.runczech.com, on social media and all registered runners will be notified by e-mail. .

Geoffrey Ronoh Seeks to Conquer the Marathon Distance in Prague
PRESS RELEASE 30 April 2015 Geoffrey Ronoh seeks to conquer the marathon distance in Prague Kenya’s conveyor belt of world-class runners produced yet another new name in 2015 as Geoffrey Ronoh became last year’s rising star. Signed as a pacemaker in the Mattoni Olomouc Half Marathon, he famously snatched victory, leaving behind superstars Wilson Kipsang and Dennis Kimetto. If Ronoh can transform the kind of form he showed last summer onto the marathon distance then he could produce some performance in Sunday’s Volkswagen Prague Marathon. While possessing to date a modest personal best of 2:15:51, Ronoh is justifiably considered one of the favourites. However, the fastest runner in the field has a PB that is almost ten minutes faster than Ronoh’s: Ethiopia’s Deribe Robi ran 2:06:06 in Dubai earlier this year and leads a field of nine sub 2:10 runners in Prague. As for the women’s race, Ethiopians are expected to lead the chase for the title. Five of them show personal bests of sub 2:25 and Koren Jelela is the fastest of this quintet with 2:22:43. The Volkswagen Prague Marathon had its inaugural edition exactly 20 years ago. The race has developed into one of the world’s best quality marathon events and is an IAAF Gold Label Road Race. While 985 marathon runners competed back in 1995 this year organisers have once again a capacity field of 10,000 entries. Bib numbers sold out already half a year ago. “The Volkswagen Prague Marathon is an unbelievable success story.

The Volkswagen Prague Marathon Postponed Until After 2021
Press release Prague, 23rd of August, 2021 The Volkswagen Prague Marathon postponed until after 2021 Due to the current pandemic restrictions and the general health situation in the country, in agreement with the City of Prague and the Czech Athletic Federation, and having informed all relevant institutions and partners, RunCzech has decided to cancel the live Volkswagen Prague Marathon previously planned for October 10, 2021. “Despite all of our other accomplishments, we cannot honestly say the RunCzech team can guarantee proper quality, safety, and smooth delivery of a RunCzech race above 3 000 participants.”, explains Carlo Capalbo, president of the RunCzech organizing committee. In an event like the Volkswagen Prague Marathon and dm Family Run which count all together 18 000 people, with current restrictions due to the pandemic (start in waves, social distance, limited technical area, control of testing and vaccination, reduced Expo, and others) and without the possibility to timely plan the production and the infrastructure of services, it is not feasible to guarantee an event on a level expected from RunCzech. The restart of all the Prague races is planned for their traditional race dates in 2022 when, at that time, a higher rate of vaccinations will finally allow mass events to happen again. Meanwhile, in the months of September and October 2021, RunCzech is still committed to stage two more EuroHeroes half marathons in Ústí nad Labem and in České Budějovice, and a Mattoni Liberec Nature Run, each within the limits of up to 3 000 participants. To all registered runners to the Volkswagen Prague Marathon that have paid the entry fee, the organizers are making available the option to either transfer their registration to 2022, or to transform the value into an e-shop voucher or to donate their amount to the social project ‘Get up and run’ for students that helps to motivate youth and improve the sport facilities in high schools.
