On Sunday, the Vodafone Prague Marathon took over the city center, drawing nearly 12,000 runners for the main 42km race that started at 8am from Old Town Square. The route looped along the Vltava, past Charles Bridge and Vyšehrad, back through historic streets to finish right by the Astronomical Clock.
Ethiopian Berehanu Wendemu Tsegu won the men's race in 2:05:51, just 42 seconds off the course record.. Milicent Jelimo from Kenya took the women's title in 2:24:19. Czech Yann Havlena claimed the national title in 2:17:48, improving his personal record.
For a few hours, roads from Old Town to Smíchov were closed for transport, which turned the center into one big spectator zone with people cheering along the barriers. Some of our guests were out watching by the river, while others guests were running themselves. If you're planning to run next year, make sure to stay with us!
