One of Prague’s biggest sporting events will take place this Sunday, May 3, when thousands of runners from around the world will take part in the 31st edition of the Prague Marathon.
The race will involve widespread traffic restrictions affecting cars, trams and buses, with six Prague bridges impacted. While technical facilities for the event will be concentrated in the lower part of Wenceslas Square, the movement of thousands of runners through city streets is expected to affect traffic flow until 3 p.m., when the event is officially due to end.
Traffic arrangements in the Czech capital will begin changing early in the morning. Police officers and city wardens will gradually close and reopen sections of roads between 7 a.m. and 3 p.m., depending on the progress of the front and rear of the race field.
To ensure runners’ safety, 33 medical stations will be deployed along the route.
A free public information line is available for questions regarding specific traffic restrictions at 800 165 102, with an additional hotline operating on Sunday at 800 100 991.

According to the Czech Hydrometeorological Institute, Czechia is experiencing a bout of exceptionally dry weather. Data indicate that rainfall in March and April was the lowest in the Czech Republic since records began in 1961. Over the two months combined, average rainfall totalled just 32 millimetres, equivalent to 32 litres of water per square metre.
The climate norm for the period 1991 to 2020, used as a reference for meteorological comparisons, is 85 millimetres of precipitation for March and April combined. The long-term average over the past 66 years is 83 millimetres.
Besides a lack of rain, drought conditions have been worsened by low winter snowfall, high temperatures and the early start of the growing season.
According to the Intersucho monitoring project, severe drought currently affects 60 percent of Czech territory.

A planned increase in US tariffs on car imports from the European Union to 25 percent, announced by US President Donald Trump, is unlikely to threaten direct Czech vehicle exports to the United States, according to EY automotive expert Petr Knap. However, it could hurt supply chains. Knap said the move would further limit exports to the United States by German carmakers, to whom Czech firms supply components worth billions of crowns.
President Trump said he intends to raise tariffs next week because, in his view, the EU has failed to honour a previously agreed trade deal.
Last summer, Trump and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen agreed in principle on a 15 percent tariff ceiling for most EU exports to the United States.
