Post-race information
Dear sports friends,
this year’s 11th edition of the CRAFT Brno Half Marathon is over. We hope you enjoyed the race. It was one of the most complicated in terms of organization. We tried to pay as much attention as possible to the safety and support of the runners. Construction work in the vicinity of the velodrome and BVV as well as the relatively warm weather were the biggest obstacles. Thank you for your participation and we will be happy to see you at the start again next year. You can watch the recording of the live broadcast on the TV COM – https://tinyurl.com/2jlvsfjt server. We will soon prepare a shortened haircut for you. The results – https://www.behejbrno.com/vysledky/ and photo gallery – https://www.behejbrno.com/galerie/ are available on our website.
Another event is the SUNRISE MARATHON | HALFMARATHON 23/06/2024. A race not only for early birds. We start at sunrise at 4:49 a.m. You will experience the awakening of nature at the summer equinox. Information and applications can be found here: https://www.behejbrno.com/sunrise-marathon-halfmarathon-eng/.
Right after the summer holidays, the Stairs ALL UP – https://www.behejbrno.com/schody-az-nahoru-2023/ race will take place. A run to the tallest building in the Czech Republic. Again as an open championship of the Czech Republic in running up the stairs.
Then autumn will come and with it the October Prefa Brněnská 25. A traditional race that will write its 57th chapter on 20/10/2024. Information and applications – https://www.behejbrno.com/brnenska-25.
