Run for Memory of Nations

Run with your family. Run with your friends. Run alone. Run anywhere.

Run for those who didn’t give up.

In May 2026, we will host the 11th Run for Memory of Nations. A unique charity event supporting the documentation of stories from the 20th and 21st centuries.

Every step you take helps preserve the memories of those who stood up against oppression, war veterans, Holocaust survivors, political prisoners, dissidents, and many others.

Their courage inspires us to keep going, push our limits, and not give up – in running, and in life.

Thank you for running with us.

Who we are

We are Post Bellum, a Czech-based non-profit organization founded in 2001. We are the creators of Memory of Nations, one of Europe’s largest collections of eyewitness testimonies, with more than 17,000 stories documenting the experiences of people affected by totalitarian regimes.

Through documentaries, education, exhibitions, and publications, we share these stories with the public worldwide.

What can they teach us?
To stay resilient. To stand up for freedom. To never give up.

While we run for better times, many of our witnesses once ran for their lives, freedom, and dignity.

The Run for Memory of Nations is also accompanied by concerts and a rich cultural and educational programme for all ages.

Why we organize Run for Memory of Nations?

Although the run itself is symbolic, your participation has a real impact.

By paying the registration fee, you directly support the recording, processing, and preservation of new testimonies.

Thanks to your support, we can continue documenting key moments of modern history and sharing them with future generations.

Because while we run for ourselves, our witnesses once ran for their lives.

Where do we run?

The Run for Memory of Nations takes place in several cities across the Czech Republic (see the map for dates and locations).

Join us for a day full of movement, culture, and meaningful experiences.

Register, choose who you run for, and we’ll see you at the starting line.

Can I run anywhere / abroad?

Can’t make it to one of our cities? Prefer to run on your own? Living abroad?

No problem.

You can join us from anywhere in the world by choosing the “Run Anywhere!” option during registration.

Run anytime and anywhere throughout May 2026.
We will send you your starting number via email.

Your participation helps us preserve stories that must not be forgotten.
