Slovácký běh

Slovácký běh is a traditional autumn road race held in Uherské Hradiště, Zlín Region, Czechia. Organized by AC Slovácká Slavia Uherské Hradiště, it is part of the Moravian-Slovak Running Cup ROTOR. The main races consist of a 10 km for men and a 5 km for women, with younger age groups competing earlier. The event features 26 announced categories, a substantial number for a local road race, and all start and finish at the athletic stadium. The course is a flat city circuit, primarily on good asphalt, suitable for runners focused on consistent pacing rather than elevation changes. It is considered one of the larger races in South Moravia, attracting club runners, juniors, and cup participants. Since joining the ROTOR cup, the race has been adjusted with new categories and timing to align with the series; an older People’s Run was discontinued due to declining participation. Online registration has been implemented, which organizers report has simplified race-day operations.
