Běh pro Paměť národa - Ústí nad Labem 2026

The Běh pro Paměť národa - Ústí nad Labem is a running event held in Ústí nad Labem in May, offering 5 km and 10 km courses. This race is associated with Paměť národa (Memory of a Nation), connecting a city run with support for a public archive documenting 20th-century witness testimonies. Paměť národa is managed by the non-profit organization Post Bellum, with Czech Radio and the Institute for the Study of Totalitarian Regimes serving as guarantors for the archive. The archive contains over 10,000 witnesses' photos, texts, documents, and interview recordings. It utilizes oral history to preserve accounts from individuals who experienced significant events, Nazism, Communism, and other totalitarian systems.
