Vltava Run 2024: When every step means more than just kilometers

On the weekend of May 11 – 12, 2024, ITS took part in one of the most prestigious running races in the Czech Republic – the Vltava Run. Although not all of our participants were experienced runners, 11 brave colleagues decided to take part in this unique relay race following the course of the Vltava River after four months of intensive preparation.

During four months of running training, we ran more than 5,000 km, but we also struggled with colds, pulled muscles, and other obstacles. We successfully completed the race in 34 hours and 33 minutes, which placed us 176th out of 302 teams. We ran 36 stages and 376 km, from the source of the Vltava River to Prague.

This experience was not only a test of physical endurance for us — during the race, we faced fatigue and sleep deprivation — but also a demonstration of incredible team spirit and determination.

We are proud of every member of our team :o)

Thank you all for participating, and we look forward to seeing you at the Vltava Run in 2025!
