Start at the main square (the second largest square in the Czech Republic), České Budějovice, South Bohemia, Czechia
The Mattoni Running Festival České Budějovice 2026 brings a packed day of running to the historic South Bohemian capital, with races for elite athletes, recreational runners and children all on Saturday 30 May 2026. The festival headline is the Mattoni Half Marathon České Budějovice, which starts in the early evening, while shorter events such as the Vodafone 5K and the dm family mile are scheduled earlier to create a city-wide running celebration. The route and festival atmosphere highlight the city centre, beginning at the main square (the second largest square in the Czech Republic) and passing numerous historic landmarks that make České Budějovice a must-run destination.
Organised by RunCzech, the event combines a certified, closed course with full participant services and a strong partner ecosystem including Mattoni, Vodafone and Adidas CZ. Entries include chip timing, refreshments along the route, a finisher's medal and on-site facilities such as baggage storage and showers, while optional paid extras (race T-shirts, photo packages, engraving) are available through registration. The festival format with staggered start times and relay and children’s races makes it spectator-friendly and suitable for groups, clubs and visiting runners seeking a well-supported race experience.
