Mattoni České Budějovice Half Marathon

The Mattoni České Budějovice Half Marathon takes place in early June in České Budějovice, South Bohemia's largest city. It is part of the RunCzech series, featuring a half marathon, a 10k, a relay, and a family run, attracting a diverse field beyond just half-marathon specialists. Runners begin and end on Přemysl Otakar II Square, proceeding through the city center and alongside the Vltava and Malše rivers. The event has drawn strong international competitors; Daniel Chebii set the men's course record with a sub-one-hour performance, and Agnes Barsosio holds the women's record. Notable past winners include Geoffrey Kamworor, Tamirat Tola, Rose Chelimo, and Lilia Fisikovici. The race also serves as a local event for residents, relay participants, and families.
