Česko běží dál

A fantastic initiative set up by RunCzech during the Coronavirus pandemic which seeks to keep the Czech Republic running.

The Czech Republic is a country with a fantastic running culture, and a seemingly incredibly supportive governing body. With the help of sponsor Mattoni, the country has developed the FreeRun project - over 90 5km routes spread out over the country certified by the Czech Athletic Association. Many of these routes are home to organised events led where you can join other local runners (and oftentimes coaches) free of charge.

Česko běží dál is a challenged which asks residents to attempt to run 125km over 90 days using the Mattoni FreeRun routes.

If you are not quite up for the challenge of running the full 125km there are shorter challenges available to make this event accessible to all. Each event rewards participants with medals and certificates.
