Course & Elevation

The Prague Marathon, run in 2027 as the Vodafone Prague Marathon, is a road race through the historic centre of the Czech capital, held on a Sunday at the start of May. It belongs to the RunCzech race series and has been on the running calendar since 1995; the 2027 race is the 32nd edition. The marathon starts at 08:00 on Old Town Square. RunCzech says it is the only race in the Czech Republic that takes runners across the Charles Bridge. The organisers describe the course as certified and completely closed to traffic, and the race holds the World Athletics Elite Label. The time limit is 7 hours from the gun. Entry fees for 2027 rise with the number of entries, from EUR 70 for the first 1,500 places to EUR 120 from entry 4,001. The maps on the organiser's page are from the 2026 season; the 2027 map was still to be published.
