Fun & Run 2025
18th May 2025, Plechárna Černý most, Parku u Čeňku Prague
The 14th annual Fun&Run – a charity run and fun afternoon against homophobia, biphobia, intersexphobia, transphobia, and the stigmatization of people living with HIV – is just around the corner. And this year, we’re putting on new running shoes!
As more and more of you want to run against homophobia, we’re moving the event to the larger grounds of Plechárna in Černý Most. The run itself will take place in the beautiful U Čeňku park.

Good to Know
The Plechárna venue has everything you need: toilets, showers, changing rooms, food and drink stalls.
You’ll find our main partner Bar B52 with great drinks, IKEA’s sandwich booth and a wide range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks: beer, prosecco, homemade lemonades, ice cream, burgers, poke, tacos.
All stalls will accept card payments.
Dogs are welcome – and they can even join you for the run!
High Heel Run – a limited selection of shoes will be available for borrowing, but sizes and options are limited, so bringing your own is best.
Registration for the 5 km, 10 km, and High Heel Run closes on May 17 at 00:00 (midnight from Friday, May 16 to Saturday, May 17). After this, it won’t be possible to participate in the race competitively or be eligible for prizes.
The best way to get to Černý Most is by public transport (bus stop Bryksova, metro Černý Most). You can only park at the Černý Most department store or IKEA, but you definitely can’t park around Plechárna.
Race route
the route is 5 km, the 10 km race will run the route twice
