NEWTON takes on a longer course as Vokolo priglu sets a record for finishers

With about two kilometres to go, runners had 109 steps to climb. Work on the dam at Brno Reservoir meant this year’s MILT VOKOLO priglu took a longer route, covering 15.7 kilometres. Brněnský deník reports that a record 2,595 runners crossed the finish line at the race’s 15th edition.

Six universities competed in the team event, with each university ranked by the combined times of its ten fastest runners. Masaryk University won and NEWTON University finished sixth.

Brněnský deník also rounds up the main race results and shares photos from the day. Jáchym Kovář retained the men’s title in 50:50, while Barbora Lampová won the women’s race in 57:11.
