On Tuesday, 22 September 2026, Jičín Municipal Athletics Stadium will come alive with the World Marathon Challenge. This traditional Rotary sports project brings together exercise, team spirit and support for a good cause.

Children’s relay teams from primary schools in Jičín, Nymburk, Mladá Boleslav, Nová Paka and other towns will take to the start line, united by the challenge of completing the marathon distance.

This year’s event is organised by the Rotary Club Jičín-Nymburk in cooperation with the town of Jičín. It also carries the important message, “Rotary for the Eradication of Polio”, highlighting Rotary’s global efforts through the End Polio Now initiative to eradicate polio once and for all.

The event is held under the patronage of Senator Tomáš Czernin and the Mayor of Jičín, Dr Jan Malý.

Come along on 22 September from 10.00 am to support the young runners and show with Rotary that sport can make a difference!
