General
The people of the Czech Republic were used to western ways long before their 'Velvet Revolution' of 1989. The people of Prague even more so, and foreign visitors are made to feel very welcome in this great City of Culture. British visitors have really taken to this Central European Capital over recent years, and the architecture, history, and general sights of the place make this a great venue for a race.
You will want to come back and that is fine, because there is a Half Marathon in March, and a full Marathon in May.
Why not give yourself a Central European Running Tour by competing in the Prague 5K/10K and the Budapest Half Marathon the following weekend. We will be arranging group travel by train on the Wednesday. The cost of this is included in the combined package prices. If you like the idea of this, and last year many people did, then you should enquire about flights out to Prague and back from Budapest - please ensure you stipulate 'Prague 10K/Budapest Half combined' in your enquiry
The Course
The 10K Grand Prix is an annual event, and the organisers have arranged it so that there is other entertainment going on in the city over the weekend. This is particularly good news for others travelling with you, but will also add to the atmosphere for the race. The course is flat, fast, and takes in many of the tourist areas of the old part of the City. Great for photos!

Spectators and Supporters:
We know how important spectators and supporters are at these events. We provide a supporters package at no extra charge. We will advise where on the course are the most advantageous spectator positions, and how to get there easily and in time for the race. More often than not we will take you there and join you for a cup of coffee and have a few surprises planned whilst awaiting the first sight of the runners! All our hotels are comfortably furnished with TV and entertainment facilities - many have spas, pools and saunas too
Charity Runners
'Running Crazy' are delighted to welcome runners who are raising sponsorship for registered charities. We know that the great feeling of accomplishment when completing the race, feels even better when you are helping others in to the bargain! See our Run for Charity link to choose a charity that you can help. Many charities listed there will provide special runners packs including sponsorship forms and tips, and also charity running vests. Just contact them with your details and tell them you intend to run with 'Running Crazy' on their behalf. In addition we will provide you with a 'Running Crazy' Certificate confirming your achievement and result, and also a special commemorative prize. Just specify the charity name in your 'Application'.

Entertainment:
We have arranged many tours to Prague over the years and we know some of the best places both for quality and price, for eating and drinking. Prague has become a top tourist resort and there are plenty of things to keep you busy. Take a trip down the river, visit one of the many museums, take a tram ride, or just chill out in one of the many parks. There are fantastic photo opportunities at every corner. Our after race party really is great, and with the race finishing failry early on a Saturday evening there is ample time to let our hair down and celebrate a good run. Prague has something for everyone.
Groups:
This weekend offers a great opportunity for Clubs, or training partners to get together. It may also make the travelling more convenient and enjoyable too.There are discounts for large groups (20+), but even a group of just 10 will qualify for an additional prize for the fast or last to finish (you choose).
Prescribed times
Provided you arrive anytime from the Thursday and depart before the Tuesday, you will be met at the airport, for the transfer to your hotel. There is no problem if you prefer to stay outside of these times, but you will need to make your own transport arrangements.
Prices
Our all inclusive prices are extremely competitive - from as little as just £149 for the weekend - we know we cannot be beaten on price - and our runners continually tell us that they receive so much more on a 'Running Crazy' weekend break. All our 'resort races' offer half board accommodation, and for our 'Big City' races we know all the best value places to eat, drink and have fun. Indeed we book these for our pre-race and after race gatherings, meaning groups and individuals can just sit back, relax, make new running pals and let us do any worrying. No tourist traps for our clients! We know these races and places inside out, and will advise on what to see and do over the weekend, provide directions and maps - all very useful when on a tight timescale. All you have to do is run!
