Prague Half Marathon

Course & Elevation

The Generali Prague Half Marathon is a road half marathon through central Prague, held on a Saturday around the turn of March and April and rated Elite Label by World Athletics. It is organised by RunCzech and is part of the SuperHalfs series of six European half marathons. The race starts at 10:00, and both start and finish are at Bubenské nábřeží in Holešovice, outside the entrance to Holešovice Market. About 13 km of the loop run directly along the Vltava, with four crossings of the river on four different bridges, and the route passes Národní třída, Old Town Square and Pařížská Street. The first edition was held on 13 March 1999 as the Kodak Prague Half Marathon, in Stromovka Park, with 718 finishers; the course has run through the city centre since 2002. A record 17,000 runners took part in 2026, and the 2027 race is sold out. The course records are 58:16 for men (Rodrigue Kwizera, 2026) and 1:04:52 for women (Joyciline Jepkosgei, 2017), which made her the first woman to run a half marathon in under 65 minutes.
