Sportisimo Prague Half Marathon is Postponed
Tuesday morning was not easy for the organizers of the RunCzech running events. The Czech government has decided to ban until further notice all cultural, sporting and social events with participation over 100 people.
This first RunCzech event of 2020 organized in
the Czech Republic, the Sportisimo Prague Half Marathon was scheduled
for Saturday, 28 March. The expected participation was 11,500 runners
plus thousands of volunteers and fans. After long internal debates, it
was decided to postpone the race to another date later this year. The
new date will be announced as soon as possible on the official website www.runczech.com and other RunCzech channels.
“Due to recent circumstances around the world
and in the Czech Republic, to limit the spreading is the appropriate
effort taken. Health is always the priority. I thank to my colleagues,
volunteers and everyone involved in the race preparation for their
enthusiasm. Mainly enormous thanks go to all the runners. I wish we can
meet soon” said RunCzech race director Václav Skřivánek. The organizers
have been preparing the race since last year’s June, when the
registrations opened.
Runners that are registered for the race do not
have to report anywhere or confirm their participation in the postponed
race - all start numbers together with the additional services like
T-shirt or medal engraving will be automatically transferred to the new
date.
The next RunCzech race - Volkswagen Prague
Marathon – remains as it was scheduled for May 3. RunCzech will provide
updates latest on 31 March.
The new date of the Sportisimo Prague Half Marathon 2020 will be announced on www.runczech.com, on social media and all registered runners will be notified by e-mail.
