The Škoda FIT project was launched in September 2015 with a sports event at the athletics stadium in Plzeň, where participants had the opportunity to train with professional athletes and assess their health using modern diagnostic methods. Visitors could try a variety of athletics disciplines under the guidance of experienced coaches. During autumn 2015 and spring 2016, a series of regular training runs with renowned runners was organised. Throughout these events, experts provided practical advice on training techniques, proper running form, and race preparation.

The highlight of the year is traditionally the Czech Half Marathon, held on the streets of Plzeň. The event features several races and a full accompanying programme at Republic Square, where both the start and finish lines are located.

The single-lap course begins in the city centre, passes through the Škoda premises, continues via the Borská Pole district and Borský Park, crosses the Tyrš Bridge into Doudlevce, runs through the Škoda Sport Park, and returns to Republic Square via the city’s ring of parks.
