Půlmaratón okolo Nového Veselí

The Half Marathon Around Nové Veselí is a traditional running race organized by AO TJ Sokol Nové Veselí and now being held for the 25th year. The main 21.1 km race follows a turnaround course repeated three times, on paved paths and third-class roads with minimal elevation gain. Shorter races are also available for teenagers, schoolchildren, and preschool children, making the event appealing to runners of a wide range of ages. Refreshments are provided after the race, and the winner of the main race receives a cash prize. The start is traditionally in the square in Nové Veselí.

Refreshment stations are located at both turnaround points on the main race course. Refreshments are provided for all participants after the race, with additional refreshments available at the handball club buffet. The winner of the main race receives a cash prize of CZK 2,000, plus CZK 1,000 for breaking the course record. On request, each runner can receive a certificate showing their placing and finishing time. The race takes place on 28 June 2026, with the main race starting at 9:45. The event is open to the general public, including young people, veterans, and children.
