The more advanced technologies we have, the less we move. The prevalence of obesity-related health problems in the population is steadily increasing. That's why we started our own series of races for passionate runners of all ages under the brand RunTour. The series is nowadays widely popular thanks to its unique and friendly atmosphere. We can say without exaggeration that it is a lovebrand thanks to its recognizable visual identity and consistent communication. Moreover, it also functions as an active platform with partnership programs for brands to meet their customers and build a strong emotional connection with them. The ČEZ RunTour series will start its 13th year in 2024.
It Is a Pleasure to Run
ČEZ RunTour is not just about the race, it's more about the community

Director of ČEZ RunTour from the organizing agency VML
The better our powerful computers operate, the less we need or want to move. The prevalence of obesity-related health problems in the population is steadily increasing. That's why we started a series of RunTour races for hobby as well as experienced runners.
Given the growing interest in running, we also wanted to build an active platform for brands and help them connect with their customers through experience and positive emotions. The brand then becomes a relevant support for the success of its customers and can initiate a meaningful dialogue with its target groups.
We founded the ČEZ RunTour series in 2011. Now every year, about 20000 runners in 8 regions across the Czech Republic run primarily in an urban environment on both classic and virtual races. It is open for runners of all ages, from beginners to experienced runners looking for motivation, community and a sporting experience to share with friends and colleagues from work or family. ČEZ RunTour is not just about running. It is also about helping others. Every year we collect financial donations for charitable entities. This year is no different. CZK 50 from each entry fee goes to a good cause.
Our mission is to constantly move the quality of ČEZ RunTour forward. We want to be the first choice for road runners of all skill levels. In 2023, a total of 7415 first-time runners ran with us. In 2024, we are opening a new location in Pilsen, the 4th largest city in the Czech republic.
