Descripción

Karlovy Vary is part of the West Bohemian Spa Triangle. With this title, the city received the honorable title of being a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2021 as part of the "Great Spas of Europe".

On May 18, for the first time, RunCzech is organizing an entire Running festival in this exact spa city located a mere 2 hours from the capital - Prague. With all this said, running in Karlovy Vary is a perfect combination of running and a short, relaxing pre-summer getaway.

Mattoni Karlovy Vary Half Marathon is part of the EuroHeroes project which is an initiative of RunCzech (in cooperation with European Athletics) that aims to identify, develop, and promote local sporting heroes, and motivate the public to exercise. The project had its zero version in 2018 with two RunCzech races and fully started in 2019, when we dedicated four of our World Athletics Gold Label races - the Mattoni Half Marathons in Karlovy Vary, České Budějovice, Olomouc and Ústí nad Labem - to promote European Athletics. The elite field of these races are limited to European athletes.

Choose from half marathon race (WA road running label), ČT 2Run (10 + 11km), and a new 10k distance race.
