Olympijský běh – Žatec 2026
The royal town of Žatec is once again joining the Olympic Day. The race course will lead predominantly along the cycle path on both sides of the river. This event will also include a sports day for children called Chmelijáda, starting at 2 PM, where everyone can try Olympic disciplines. This year, we have confirmed the participation of an athlete who participated in the Olympics. The entire day will be moderated by a well-known radio host. Special local refreshment stand. Every registered runner will receive a commemorative reward from our town. As always, there will be a traditional raffle at the end. Sweet rewards and ice cream for children.
By participating, you also contribute to children's sports from socially disadvantaged families – a portion of the starting fee goes to the account of the Czech Olympic Foundation.
