It doesn’t matter if you are a professional athlete or just a mother worried about her kid’s overweight. You’d better check the Brno Runs 2009 (good news everyone: English version!), held on Saturday, May 2, anyway.

There’ll be four races:

  • Half marathon of Brno (21,098 m long run for all competitors and invited foreign runners, incl. Peter Chesang Kurui)
  • „City run for everybody“ (4 km)
  • „Looking for dragon of Brno“ (2 km long run for kids born in 1994 and later in the city centre)
  • „Parents and children“ (300 m long run for parents with their children until 6 years)

Due to the Brno Runs 2009, public transportation will be reduced in the town’s centre during Saturday, May 2.
