Running in Prague

Combining a running race with a vacation is a great way to get the best of both worlds - travel & fitness.  I’ve personally had alot of fun at destination races.  The fun in picking the race, organizing, getting there, running the race and meeting other runners from various parts of the globe and, of course, the reward being the vacation after the race.  I believe that the ability to maintain a some form of running or training program often requires a vision for a final destination.

Having been voted one of the most beautiful marathon courses in the world, Prague certainly offers everything one is looking for in a destination race  With runs of varying distances, Prague has a run for everyone.
