INFORMATION FOR PARTICIPANTS
General information
The Sokol Run of the Republic in Prague will take place in the format of a BIG RACE. This means that the time will be measured by a professional timekeeper. The organizers will then award the fastest runners at the finish line. And what will you get from the organizers? Everyone will pick up their race packet with their start number and other gifts from the organizers and partners at the backstretch, and a beautiful republic-shaped medal awaits everyone at the finish line.
Runners can look forward to the backstage area in Tyršův dům, where the entire supporting programme will take place. Various sporting and non-sporting activities will be prepared for children. Adult runners will also find something to do. The route of the main race leads through Petřínské sady, where runners will find not only beautiful views of Prague but also surprise spots around the route. Children's categories will run on a flat route in Kampa Park.
