Karlovy Vary spa town centre, Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic
The Mattoni Running Festival Karlovy Vary 2026 is a festival-style road running event held in the spa town of Karlovy Vary and staged on a World Athletics certified course. The route passes iconic local landmarks including Hotels Thermal and Pupp and several UNESCO-listed sights, offering a scenic run through the town centre and its historic colonnades. The festival atmosphere and prominent title sponsorship by Mattoni are emphasised across the event information, which also highlights charity partnership activity and a visitor-focused race village experience.
The festival programme on 16 May 2026 includes a variety of race distances and formats from family and children’s races to the Mattoni Half Marathon and a four-leg half-marathon relay, with some categories showing as sold out on the organiser pages. Practical racer inclusions cited by the organiser include a certified closed course, disposable timing chips, refreshment stations, on-course medical support, finisher medals and online results. Official maps and GPX files are referenced on the organiser site, with updated 2026 course materials to be published by the organisers closer to the event.
