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).

The race first took place in 1897 and was awarded the World Athletics Heritage Plaque in 2020 recognising the race as being the oldest continuously-run road race in Europe. In 1974 the race held a female category for the first time, although Helena Nerudová had run outside of competition in 1972.
