About the race

Most successful projects have rocky beginnings. Although these discourage many from chasing their dreams, there are also those who take every brave step on the way to the goal as a challenge and try all the more to succeed in the face of a tough competition. When, in 2015, a group of our students decided to organise a charity run on the premises of the Faculty Hospital of Královské Vinohrady, they suspected that a number of unexpected obstacles awaited them, but what they did not know was that they would also bring a unique opportunity to get to know themselves.

Vinohradská Trojka is a charity run that was created based on the efforts of students of the 3rd Faculty of Medicine of the Charles University to involve the TRIMED student association in a humanitarian-oriented and public benefit project. The very name of the race is derived from the distance that the runners overcome, the number of initial founders, and especially our alma mater, which was not afraid to support a great idea.
In its beginnings, the whole event took place in a relatively intimate atmosphere in the parking lot in front of the building of the 3rd Faculty of Medicine and was mainly oriented towards its students and employees together with the workers of the nearby FNKV campus. The primary goal, in addition to the charitable purpose, was also to provide the students and employees of the mentioned institutions with the opportunity to meet in an informal, sports-oriented environment, which will enable the erasure of the normally respected academic community.

Even though the original founders left our faculty as young doctors, the tradition continues and the younger generations maintain this great tradition and constantly improve it. Vinohradská trojka is an integral part of the TRIMED student association and is an event that the entire LF3 academic community and all friends of the faculty look forward to every year.

That’s a short introduction and introduction. But what about this year’s year?
Vinohradská Trojka is no longer a race for a small group of students and teachers. Next year we will celebrate our tenth anniversary!

Last year, as the eighth year and was no exception in the number of participants. A total of 157 participants took part in it and a total of CZK 40,180 was collected for the charitable activities of the EMOTER organization in Uganda.

But this year will be unique. In memoriam of our friend, former student and long-time organizer of V3, who unfortunately passed last year, in his honor, V3 will bear his name, i.e. Vinohradská trojka – Ondřej Ceislar’s memorial.

But what about this year?

The date of the race is set for May 16th 2024 with a start in the afternoon. The accompanying program will include a number of novelties, a traditional barbecue along with music, a raffle and a physiotherapists’ stand. But we don’t want to reveal everything! What we can reveal, however, is that this year’s proceeds will once again go to the non-profit organization EMOTER. They will also have his stand here, so you can learn more about their activities in Africa. So mark the date in your calendars, come and race with us in an unconventional place and support a good cause!!
