U.S. Embassy Warden Message
Hells Angels Motorcycle Club 'World Run' in Prague

 

This Warden Message informs American citizens that the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club will hold its 'World Run' in Prague from Friday, May 28th through Sunday, May 30th.  The event will be held in a tourist camp at the Divoká Šárka Park and could attract over 2,000 Hells Angels members.  Czech Police will be closely monitoring the gathering and are expected to have a sizeable protective presence.  Most Hells Angels members are expected to stay within the venue, but groups could travel to local bars in the area or to downtown tourist zones.  Beginning Friday, May 28th, police will place motorcycle checkpoints near park entrances along Evropská Street, to control movement into and out of the location.  Vehicular travel along Evropská Street is expected to remain open throughout the event, although periods of traffic congestion are possible (particularly on Friday and Sunday when the majority of arrivals and departures are anticipated). 

 

The 'World Run' occurred in Prague without major incident five years ago; however, Hells Angels members have been involved in violent altercations since the inception of the club.  American citizens are urged to use caution when in the vicinity of the Divoká Šárka Park, as well as the McDonald's Restaurant near the entrance to the park for the duration of the gathering.  American citizens are also urged to exercise caution while traveling on Evropská Street near the park, within tourist zones of Prague, or while in any other areas where potentially unruly groups may be present.
