FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

                RunCzech Opens Its Registrations for 2015

Today the Organizing Committee of the RunCzech Running League has announced 
that the online registrations for RunCzech events 2015, including the 21st 
Volkswagen Prague Marathon, will be open on Wednesday, 3 September 2014.
 
Runners will be offered the same system of registration as last year - 
through creating their own profile - the so-called Runners ID, displaying 
all runner's race registrations, transactions made, participation in 
RunCzech Running League races, times achieved as well as individual 
rankings.

With the rising popularity of urban running events and prestige of RunCzech 
Running League the races are usually sold out well in advance. "Last year 
the race capacity for April's Sportisimo Prague Half Marathon was filled at 
the beginning of December, for the Volkswagen Prague Marathon right  after 
Christmas. We expect the same will happen this year so we advise all those 
who are interested to participate in our races in 2015 to register now, 
ensuring their start number and taking advantage of the earlybird entry 
fee," says Carlo Capalbo, the President of the Organizing Committee.

In addition to race registration runners will be offered to purchase an 
adidas running t-shirt, medal engraving service, accommodation during the 
race, flight tickets at a discounted price as well as a new service - 
insurance for a possible cancellation of race participation.

"Questions about the possibility to cancel race participation are coming 
from our runners quite often. I am therefore very pleased that we are able 
to meet the runners' needs and offer this service thanks to our cooperation 
with CSOB Insurance Company," reveals Vaclav Sknivanek, the Race Director 
of RunCzech  events. "This option will be offered among other services, so 
everybody interested can simply add it when registering online," adds 
Sknivanek.
