This year the event will take two days – on April 6 there will be children’s races and the next day there will be races for adult athletes.

There were also changes to the courses within the 9th Nova Poshta Kyiv Half Marathon: we decided to reinstate the 10 km course with medals for its finishers; instead of the 5 km course there will be a new 4.2 km course; and there will be a team race 4×21 km with monetary reward for its participants. However, the organizers of the event, the Run Ukraine company, decided to give up the courses of 2 km and 5 km and the 2×10 relay. The relay 4х5 km will remain unchanged.

The prizes in age groups have also been increased: the winners will get 1,500 UAH each, and 1,000 and 800 UAH for the second and third places respectively.

 

For the first time 9th Nova Poshta Kyiv Half Marathon will include the «Open Cup» for Ukrainian runners with a separate prize fund: 500 euro for the first place, 300 euro for the second place, 200 euro – for the third place and  100 and 50 euro for the fourth and fifth places respectively.

The route of the half marathon will go through the picturesque city streets, combining the historical part of the city with the urban and park zone of the Trukhaniv island. The start and finish lines are located at the Kontraktova Square.
