The Běchovice – Prague Race is an annual running event which takes place in September between the Prague districts of Běchovice, where the race starts, and Žižkov, where the race ends. It is a point-to-point race which features a climb towards the end of the race, and is slightly longer than a 10K run at 10.031 kilometres (6.233 mi).[2]
