Fourteenth Prague International Marathon takes place

Runners from around the world took part in the Prague International Marathon on Sunday. Up to 5,000 runners were expected to sign up for the 14th Prague marathon, which got underway on the city’s Old Town Square at 9am. Unlike during a half-marathon earlier this year, participants crossed Charles Bridge, which is currently undergoing extensive reconstruction. A number of tram lines were diverted and traffic restrictions were in place. The race was won by the Kenyan runner Kenneth Mungara in a time of 2:11:06. The first Czech to cross the line was Róbert Štefko, who completed the race in 2:23:53.
