We run for a good cause

We are a living community of people with passion for running, but also a with a will to give it a deeper meaning. We motivate and support each other - online in our Facebook group which already has more than 11,000 members, but also in the real world. We meet for runs in 19 cities across the Czech Republic already! During the advent, in races or just for everyday runs. Our motto is - We leave no one behind! We practice sports all year round, we proudly wear our Advenťák t-shirts and when registering for a race, the Team field always says Advenťák runners! Because that's what we are - a great team!

How do we help

Advent running

From 1st to 25th December we run every day - at least 30 minutes. This way we help ourselves to offset some of the Christmas cookies and eggnog, but most importantly, we help those, to whom their life was not so kind to. Advenťák runners themselves, but also our partner companies, turn the kilometers into donations. These then allow us to make the lives of our heroes a little better by financing their medical equipment or therapies.

Advenťák Run

We wanted to help even outside advent. Since 2020 we have another running Christmas in June - the Advenťák charity run. We meet in several cities and together we enjoy racing, great time and the feeling that warms our hearts more than the summer sun - the feeling you have, when you are helping those, who need your help.

Advenťák e-shop

To provide another option to help, we have created the Advenťák e-shop. Over there you can buy something nice for yourself or the ones closest to you all year round. And not just that - at least 50 CZK from everything you buy goes to those we are helping!

Podcast

We enjoy running even more when we have something to listen to! Are you the same? Especially for you, in December, we record a series of 25 podcasts with inspiring people. We talk about running, health and life in general. And you can listen to them (not just) during your advent runs.

Heroes we are helping together

Amálie

Amálka is an eight-year-old girl who was born in the 26th week of pregnancy, weighing only 800 grams. She survived three severe infections, one of which caused brain damage. She has cerebral palsy, hydrocephalus, a shunt (to drain cerebrospinal fluid), and central quadriparesis. She relies entirely on a wheelchair for mobility.

Nicolas

Nicolas was born in November 2018. At just seven months old, doctors diagnosed him with a brain tumor that affected the area of the optic nerves. After the first surgery, during which the tumor was partially removed, Nicolas unfortunately lost his vision. The hormonal part of the brain was also impacted, so he now requires multiple daily doses of medication – for hormones, epilepsy, growth, and blood thinning.

Ella

Elli is a three-year-old girl who was born a healthy baby. But it soon became clear that her development was not following the typical path. After more than a year of searching for answers, Elli was diagnosed with a rare genetic condition – Arboleda-Tham syndrome – which affects both her mental and physical development. In September 2024, she was also diagnosed with CVI, a visual impairment that makes it difficult for her to process visual information.

What's new

THANK YOU: Advenťák Run 2025 is behind us – and we already know when we’ll run in 2026!

01. 07. 2025


THANK YOU: Advenťák Run 2025 is behind us – and what a ride it was!

This year’s Advenťák Run 2025 is behind us, and there’s only one thing left to say: THANK YOU!

It was a journey full of emotions, good vibes, and above all – help where it’s truly needed.


Fewer runners, but just as much impact

For the first time in our history, the number of participants was slightly lower than last year.

But – thanks to you, our e-shop, and our amazing sponsors – we still managed to raise enough money to cover the essential therapy for four little heroes. And that’s what really matters!


Together we raised: 464,759 CZK

That’s the exact amount going to support Amálie, Nicolas, Ella, and Valérie – children who face serious life challenges.

Thanks to your help, they’ll now receive the rehabilitation they need – treatments not covered by health insurance.


Thank you for running with us and helping – it truly makes a difference.

When do we run again?

We’ll see each other at the Advent Run 2026 on these dates:


June 2 – Plzeň


June 3 – Prague


June 9 – Brno


June 10 – Ostrava


Registration opens on September 1, 2025 – mark it in your calendar and tell your friends.

The more of us there are, the more fun we’ll have – and the more good we can do together!


Summer is here – and so is our newest e-shop item!

Until we meet again at the starting line, enjoy your summer – and don’t forget to grab our brand-new ultralight, quick-drying towel for your beach days. Not only will it bring you joy, but for every towel sold, 50 CZK goes to help children in need.


And don’t forget to check out the photos and videos from this year’s run!

Once again, a huge thank you.

You run with us.

You help change the world.
