Christmas Run Praha 2026

Christmas Night Run Praha requires participants to run after dark with a headlamp, which is mandatory equipment. This event is the Prague segment of a Czech Christmas Night Run series spanning five cities, each offering three race distances: a 1 km non-competitive Kids Christmas Run, a 2 km non-competitive Fénix Run, and a 5 km Christmas Run. In Prague, the start and finish line are located at náměstí Jana Palacha, situated on the right bank of the Vltava River in the city's historic center. The 5 km course consists of a single loop, extending out and back along the river and circling Ostrov Štvanice, a park island in the Vltava. This setup keeps the race within central Prague while providing a nocturnal riverside atmosphere.
