The Běchovice – Prague Race is an annual running event which takes place in September between the Prague districts of Běchovice, where the race starts, and Žižkov, where the race ends. It is a point-to-point race which features a climb towards the end of the race, and is slightly longer than a 10K run at 10.031 kilometres (6.233 mi).[2]
The race first took place in 1897 and was awarded the World Athletics Heritage Plaque in 2020 recognising the race as being the oldest continuously-run road race in Europe.[1] In 1974 the race held a female category for the first time, although Helena Nerudová had run outside of competition in 1972.[3]
