Information on Registration Fees from the 2026 Season

To keep conditions fair and transparent for all runners, the registration fees will change.

Starting with the 2026 season, the fee amount will be based on the total value of your order (see the table below). If you add any additional products to your registration, your order may move into a higher price category, and the system will always display the updated fee no later than in your order summary.

The fee structure shown below has already been valid since the 2025 season. However, to avoid a sudden increase for runners between 2024 and 2025, RunCzech has been covering part of the cost per participant until now. That’s why this change will only take effect from 2026.
