Generali 1/2Maraton Praha

The Generali 1/2Maraton Praha is a 21.1 km road half marathon held in Prague, Czech Republic, during March or April. It is part of the Prague marathon weekend, which started in 1995 with support from Emil Zatopek and had 985 participants in its first marathon edition. The half marathon holds IAAF Gold Label status, attracting elite runners at the front while fitting into the city's race schedule. The Prague races highlight the city as their main attraction. Runners pass through central Prague, with the marathon course connecting to landmarks like Old Town Square and Cech Bridge, finishing near St. Nicholas Church. East African athletes, particularly from Kenya and Ethiopia, have dominated the elite field. The event also includes relay, family, and children's races, creating a dual nature for the race weekend: competitive international racing at the front and a large public running event behind it.
