The CSOB Bratislava Marathon has become renowned within Europe and beyond as a beloved running and sports festival in the Slovakian capital. Runners from Slovakia and more than 50 countries join the event every year. This year, the 19th edition will take place on 7 April 2024.
The Slovak city marathon also includes the Slovak half-marathon championships. Bratislava is also gaining an enviable reputation as a city perfect for sports events and festivals. For instance, the Lovestream Festival brought some 80,000 music fans to the city last year.
Effective prescheduled meetings
Face-to-face meetings are at the core of the Break The Ice Forum. On the second day of the event, attendees had 25 prescheduled meetings before joining the teambuilding activity – exploring Bratislava by foot on the treasure hunt. This activity showcased the city’s walkability and sustainability by encouraging sustainable modes of transport and walking.
Before heading out for family trips on the final day, the buyers attended an evening dinner at the Ponton, a restaurant and event venue on the Danube. The unforgettable evening programme was organised by the Bratislava Tourist Board. To learn more about Slovakia as a meeting destination, attendees could attend an exploration tour of the city centre or a regional journey.
Bratislava comes to life in spring
“Spring is coming, the city is coming to life, and this is a sign that one of our most important events, the ČSOB Bratislava Marathon, is approaching. More than 10,000 registered participants makes an amazing number,” says Lenka Antalová Plavuchová, Deputy Mayor. “We are glad we can also contribute to successfully organising this event. The city supports sports clubs and communities and everything that can contribute to a healthy lifestyle.”
The marathon organisers have also prepared a rich accompanying programme for participants and spectators, inviting speakers from athletics, sports and iconic marathon runners.
