This běžecký festival (running festival) takes place annually in November in the industrial yet very green town of Otrokovice which sits on the left bank of the Morava river in the Moravia region in the eastern part of the Czech Republic, near the city of Zlín.
Held in memory of the inspirational athlete and three-time Czech marathon champion Dr Josef Podmolík (1942-2000), it's an event for the whole family:
- závody mládeže (children's races)
- 21.1km Memoriál MUDr. Josefa Podmolíka v půlmaratonu (half marathon)
- 21.1km štafetový půlmaraton (half marathon relay race for teams of up to five runners)
- 42.2km maraton (marathon)
The start/finish area is at the dětské lanové centrum ‘Lanáček Otrokovice’, a children's ropes course situated in a sports park in the northern part of town.
Participants in the half marathon run five laps of an accurately-measured, certified and mainly-flat 4.2km-long course. The marathon is 10 laps. The route runs through a residential area and out and back along the river. The race is run entirely on asphalt.
