List of charities
For more than 25 years, RunCzech has promoted a culture not only of physical fitness and mental health, but of social and environmental responsibility. In fact, with every race we stage we pledge our financial support to a variety of causes that are important to runners, and to their communities. What’s more, we advocate for the organizations behind those causes by broadcasting their stories to our vast network of runners and running enthusiasts in more than 40 countries around the world.
A complete list of the charitable organizations we support appears below. They include funding the planting of 30,000 trees in 2022. Furthermore we host competitions for high school students, with winning schools receiving donations of much-needed athletic equipment, helping to keep kids engaged in sports and out of trouble. Through the generous support of our sponsors, we also fund efforts to care for senior citizens and for thousands of people with disabilities. And much more.
As part of our efforts to make the world a kinder, more livable place, we go to tremendous lengths to ensure that the races themselves are not disruptive to the environment. We have implemented a vast recycling program. We repurpose every scrap of material that we can. We are converting more and more to electric vehicles. And we employ an army of volunteers at every event who make sure that we leave our courses better and cleaner than the way we found them.
We are doing all we can to be good corporate citizens. And in the process, we hope that we are setting a good example for how the world should run.

Nábor hrdinůEvery year in the Czech Republic, hundreds of children and adults become ill with leukemia or another hematopoietic disorder. For some patients, a bone marrow transplant is the only hope for recovery, but one in four patients will not find their savior in the bone marrow donor registry. The NÁBOR HRDINŮ organization organizes recruitment events for the bone marrow donor register throughout our country and dispels the myths associated with a donation with lectures in companies and schools. We wish that every patient finds their hero and gets hope for life. DONATE VIA QR CODE

Good FairiesThe Good Fairies have been individually helping children from three Central Bohemian children's homes for 5 years. They meet the children every week in their “homes”. They know what they like, what makes them happy and what do they worry about. The Fairies know the story of each of „their“ one hundred children. They give them the most valuable - their time, love and attention. They help them to prepare for school and do the things they like to do. The Fairies teach the children and help to develop their independence and self-confidence. We do not influence what children have experienced, but we want them to believe that they can be happy.
