Český půlmaraton - Most

There are four options: the individual half marathon over 21 kilometres, a relay competition for teams, a family run and a Kids Cup for younger runners. Pick the one that matches your fitness and who you are running with.

The event is staged in the town of Most in the Ústí nad Labem region of the Czech Republic. The precise start and finish area, along with the course map, is published on the organiser's website ahead of race day.

Yes. The programme includes a relay competition alongside the individual half marathon, which lets a group split the distance between them. Team sizes and entry conditions are listed on the organiser's pages.

Early April in northern Bohemia can bring cold, wind and rain, so pack layers and check the organiser's website and social channels on the morning of the race for any changes to the programme. The organiser makes the final call on any alteration to the event.

Build a twelve to sixteen week block that peaks a few weeks before race day, include regular long runs and some faster work, and practise running in the clothing you plan to wear. Training through the Czech winter means planning for ice and darkness, so treadmills and lit paths help keep the schedule intact.
