Abstract
Background and aim: Organisation of mass sports events is one of the functions of contemporary physical culture and, at the same time, a dynamically developing service, provided by both public and private institutions. Organising such an event requires a professional project-based approach, i.e. the conceptual preparation of activities related to its preparation, conduct and summing up. The aim of this study is to present project activities related to the organisation of a mass sports event, such as a marathon race, using the example of the 6th ‘Wrocław Marathon’. Material and methods: The subject matter of this study is an analysis of the system of project activities related to the organisation of mass sports events. Use was made for this purpose of the modern scientifi c discipline of project management and the following methods were applied: literature analysis, source documentation analysis and studies of 6 ‘Wrocław Marathon’ cases. Results: The following organisational phases of the ‘Wrocław Marathon’ were analysed in detail: event planning and preparation; implementation; controlling. Conclusions: Project management is a deliberate measure in the organisation of a mass event, such as the ‘Wrocław Marathon’ – development of a reference model of such an event.<br/><br/>
