Running through Prague’s cobbled streets is normally thought of as a hazardous proposition, but not to the hundreds who fly in from around the world for this wildly popular annual foot race. Six separate races make up the core of the PIM: superjocks take on the full 42km run, a feat later repeated by in-line skaters and then younger runners; amateurs can break themselves in with the 9km City Run; and whole families go for the 4.5km run, later repeated as the Eco-Day run. The live nationwide coverage and pumped-up crowds are almost as much incentive as scoring that jersey number to take home afterwards. Registration takes place in the PIM tent at the bottom of Wenceslas Square.
