The Běchovice-Praha 10k road race in Prague has been held every year since 1897 (like the Boston Marathon), which makes it one of the world's oldest continuously running footraces.

Starting in Praha-Běchovice in the eastern part of the city, the race follows an undulating 10,031m-long point-to-point course. The finish line is in Praha 3, approximately four kilometres to the east of the Old Town.

The event incorporates the Czech 10k Championships. Last year, Jakub Zemaník (30 minutes 50 seconds) and Eva Vrabcová (33 minutes 27 seconds) led a field of 2,376 athletes across the finish line. The entry limit is 3,333 runners.
