Sokol San Francisco and the Czech School of California will again celebrate the Day of the Republic with a picnic and Sokolský Běh this year!
This is our fourth year!
We are looking forward to seeing your friendly faces again at the picnic and at the starting line!
It is so great to see such a strong community!
Mark your calendars and start training!

Our picnic and Sokol SF Beh Republiky will take place at the same place as last year:
Sunday, October 27, 2024
Seal Point Park, Ryder Park Picnic Area; San Mateo, CA.
There are three categories for the run:
children under 10 (2014 and younger)
children under 14 (2010 - 2013)
and adults
The registration fee for an adult is $10
There is no registration fee for children but they need to be registered to run
(so we have their starting number and medal as well as prizes)
Registration fee for children is sponsored by The Czech School of California
Please register ASAP!
Should you have any difficulties with registration or payment, please contact us at sokolsfevents@gmail.com
You do not need to run to come to the picnic, everyone is welcome;
you can help us cheer on the runners and
spend time with your fellow Czechs and Slovaks.
Sokol San Francisco members who register for the run by September 30, 2023 will receive a complimentary Sokolsky Beh Republiky Under Armour T-shirt from Sokol SF.
After you complete the registration:
please send an email to sokolsfevents@gmail.com
with your name and T-shirt size.
Sizes are limited so register and send in your size early.
First come, first served.
Due to the logistics of getting the race bibs and medals etc. from the Czech Republic to the USA,
you need to register by September 15th, 2023 to have a guaranteed medal for this year's participants!
You can register after this date all the way to October 24, 2024, but T-shirt (size), bib, and medal will not be guaranteed
After the run, we will have a picnic sponsored by Sokol San Francisco and the Czech School of California.
Charcoal for the grills, water and coffee will be provided.
Bring your own picnic lunch and maybe something to share.
If you are not a member of Sokol San Francisco you might be able to purchase a T-shirt in the morning during check-in. As the number of T-shirts and sizes is limited due to logistics, it is on a first come, first serve basis as well.
