Press Release - Prague Marathon - 9/10/15

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

               RunCzech launches the second Prague marathon

PRAGUE, CZ September 10, 2015 -- Start on the magnificent Old Town Square, 
wind through the heart of historic Prague, crossing the legendary Charles 
Bridge - this is the Volkswagen Prague Marathon. By right it is considered 
to be one of the most beautiful marathons in the world, which every year 
attract thousands of runners from all over the globe. The race capacity of 
10 000 runners is always filled in advance, so not everyone wishing to run 
the Prague Marathon has the opportunity. That is the reason why organizers 
of the RunCzech Running League decided in 2016 to launch the second 
marathon in Prague. The same start line, the same race course, just a bit 
different way of running the marathon.

"For us this is the next step in attracting more people to get moving and 
running. Thus we can show the whole world, how wonderful the city of Prague 
is, especially when its streets are full of people running a marathon. This 
is also the best way to present Prague as the European Capital of Sport of 
2016," says President of Organizing Committee Carlo Capalbo.
We will reveal more information about the project on the 17th of September, 
the date of the world premiere.

The gala evening will also be the opening of registration for the next 
season, presentation of the novelties for 2016 and also RunCzech Stars, 
i.e. runners who managed to run all seven races of the RunCzech Running 
League.
