Marathon du Nouvel An Pilsen 2026

Marathon du Nouvel An Pilsen is a road running event held in late December in Pilsen, Czech Republic, offering 10 km, half marathon, and marathon distances. While its name suggests a New Year theme, the race takes place at the end of December, functioning more as a year-end send-off than a spring festival. Each distance features a single-loop city course: 10 km for the shortest race, 21.1 km for the half marathon, and 42.2 km for the full marathon. The marathon is noted as the most popular choice, though the shorter distances accommodate runners seeking the Pilsen setting without the full marathon challenge. Expected conditions include cold and damp weather typical for December in Pilsen, with temperatures near freezing, moderate precipitation, and frequent snow.
