Vánoční běh Opava

Vánoční běh Opava is a Christmas road race in Opava, in the Moravian-Silesian region of the Czech Republic. It starts in the morning from Englišova street by the gate of the School Farm, with registration and changing rooms at the Masaryk Secondary Agricultural School. Adult and older youth categories run a short race of about 4-5 km, while children run just under 1 km. The route uses local roads and an asphalt bike path toward Otice, then comes back by the city cemetery and along Englišova street to the finish. The event is organized by the BěhOpava association and its supporters, and entry fees are kept low, at only a few dozen Czech crowns. It is a long-running local fixture, with more than fifty editions of the Christmas run and a newer Ladislav Král memorial included in the program.
