Last year I ran my second marathon. I was so excited as I went for the Prague Marathon because I am a born Czech, and finally had the chance to have my family and friends supporting me on the big day. I adore Prague, and if you are thinking of a destination for your next marathon, it should be at the top of your list. Not only as I say so, but I have just heard the news that the IAAF have awarded the Czech Republic as the best organisers of long distance running events in the whole world!
That makes me very proud, and can only confirm that I was amazed at how well the race was organised last May. I was comparing it to the London Virgin Marathon which I ran back in 2011, which was not bad, but I also have to say that Brits still have lots to learn from Czechs when it comes to organising marathons! I bet my British husband will be smiling reading this post. It does not happen every day that such a small country beats the big empire!
So please let me enjoy the moment of pride and here is the official overview of the IAAF Labels in the World!
I’ve never been to Prague but have heard it’s a beautiful place. Well done to Prague. xx
Prague is so, so stunning – it’s like a fairytale city and I can’t wait to go again. And so great to hear about the Czech’s being such great marathon organisers. BTW I love that picture of you running and Isabelle looking at you with such adoration and love. Beautiful.
Thanks Nomita. I know you lived in Prague when you were little, so extra pleased about your comment x
We need to go to Prague for a girly holiday! Such a stunning country and amazing they are so brilliant at putting on marathons-well done lady, so inspiring x
I would love a trip with you, would show you around. Let’s do it!
I’m so awed by anyone who does marathons! That is seriously impressive Mirka, and how wonderful to do it in beautiful Prague – it’s high on my list of places to visit! Xx
Thanks Zaz, and if you decided to go, let me know, will reveal all the secret places of mine!
What a lovely race photo, shows what a great role model you are for your daughter. Inspiring the next generation. I’ll add a Czech marathon to my bucket list. Well done!
Thanks Juliet. I think it’s really important to motivate our kids to do sorts, and Isabelle is really into running and cannot wait to run a marathon with her one day.
Awesome! I just can’t believe you run marathons!! <3
& Prag is indeed a STUNNING city!
It’s so lovely to hear from others that Prague is beautiful, I love it and love going back home.
