What to Prepare: Prague in May offers comfortable racing weather. The Old Town cobblestone sections demand shoes with good grip. Wind can funnel through narrow streets — draft in groups through exposed areas along the Vltava River.

Wind Impact on Race Day

Wind at 10 km/h can affect your marathon pace by 5-15 seconds per kilometer. Headwinds slow you down exponentially — a 20 km/h wind costs more than twice a 10 km/h wind.
