The Prague Grand Prix is an annual running event which takes place in September in Prague, Czech Republic. It is a 10-kilometre race organised in the attractive surroundings of Prague city centre during evening twilight. The race was introduced in 1997 as the O2 Prague Grand Prix, and is a part of the RunCzech running circuit. The event holds IAAF Silver Label Road Race status.

The new course was introduced in 2013 and course records are held by Kenya's Philemon Limo and Josephine Chepkoech.[1]
