| Volkswagen Prague International Marathon | Czech Republic | Prague | Marathon | May | "We wanted to create a traditional city marathon on par with those in New York, Berlin or London. In addition to the full marathon, we wanted to promote a healthy and active lifestyle among people of all ages, interests and occupations. We have prepared a number of non-competitive short-distance runs for those who are not yet ready to run the marathon or the half marathon,"" said Carlo Capalbo, president of PIM.The Prague International Marathon originated in 1995 and has been on a fast track to international acclaim since then. The marathon founders including C. Capalbo had no idea how successful the first edition would be. 1,500 runners flooded the streets of Prague in June 1995 and the number grew to over 4,000 ten years later. Another 10,000 people took part in the short-distance non-competitive runs at this time as well." | ||
