Sunrise Marathon and Half Marathon: next-edition date awaiting confirmation. Review the event format and participant planning information.

The race at a glance

Route and elevation

The published Sunrise Marathon guide describes June 21, 2026 at 04:48 near Brno’s Olympia Centre. That edition has finished; its dawn start and route details are preparation context, not a confirmed schedule for the next race.

  • The reviewed page is explicitly the 2026 event; no automatic 2027 anniversary is a race date.
  • The previous course used aid at the start/finish area and before the Chrlice turnaround.
  • The special N94 bus and luggage-storage closing time were edition-specific arrangements.

Race guide

A pre-dawn routine, with 2026 transport kept in its own edition

The 2026 English participant guide shows what makes this event different: a marathon beginning before normal breakfast and transport hours. If a future edition keeps that format, rehearse sleep, food and arrival timing in advance. Wait for its actual start time rather than copying 04:48 from the old guide.

The published 2026 route marked the first two kilometres and then every five kilometres for the marathon. That means a plan based on seeing a sign at every kilometre would not match the stated system. Use the next map and marking instructions to decide how you will monitor effort and distance without relying solely on GPS.

The old guide describes two main refreshment locations, with a wider selection at the start/finish and water plus sports drink near Chrlice. Revisit the new aid plan before deciding what to carry; repeated access to a station can matter more than the number of distinct station sites. Practise the products or use a permitted tested alternative.

A special N94 bus extension and a 10:00 luggage-storage closure appear in the 2026 instructions. Both require new confirmation. Do not build a non-refundable travel plan around an old special-service timetable, and account for how and when you will recover your belongings after the full distance.

Next edition awaiting confirmation

An exact next-edition date is not confirmed here. A previous race month does not establish a future event. Wait for the organizer’s announcement before setting a taper or booking race-specific travel. Check that the announcement names your distance: an event weekend, registration opening or shorter race can appear before the full programme. Save your entry confirmation separately from a provisional travel plan, and compare an announced alternative if you need a fixed date. Keep the route details below in their stated edition context until the new participant guide is available.

No. The next edition can move or be discontinued. Use an exact date announced by the organizer for this race and distance before booking non-refundable travel.
