Mizuno Neon Run Prague Bohnice 2026

Time for a complete change of vibe—forget racing the clock and burning calves, and get ready for an absolute explosion of colors, light, and music! Mizuno Neon Run in Prague (specifically in the Bohnice district) is an extraordinary evening fun run where what matters most is an amazing time and an incredible visual show. The 5 km course runs through a vast, historic, and wonderfully green park complex in Prague’s Bohnice. After dark it turns into a neon wonderland—organizers set up special zones with neon lighting, lasers, ultraviolet effects, and high-energy music served up by DJs. Runners start in reflective shirts, decked out in glowing bracelets and painted with fluorescent body paint.

Once you’ve washed off the glowing paint and picked up your commemorative medal, the Czech capital offers fantastic options for a relaxing weekend:

The Botanical Garden and the Fata Morgana greenhouse: located right next to Bohnice, in the Troja district. It’s a huge, gorgeous complex whose biggest attraction is the tropical greenhouse. A walk among exotic butterflies and rare plants is the perfect way to enjoy a calm, restorative morning 🦋.

The Baroque Troja Château: a stunning 17th-century residence with strikingly geometric French-style gardens. You can relax on a bench surrounded by fountains and sculptures, admiring architecture that looks like it’s been lifted straight from Italy 🏰.

A walk along the Vltava to the Prague Zoo: The Prague Zoo (considered one of the best in the world) sits just below the Bohnice hill. Even if you’re not planning to visit the animals, the riverside paths and promenades along the Vltava are a brilliant spot to chill out by the water 🌊.

A traditional Czech feast to replenish calories: An evening run calls for a proper reward. Head to a traditional Prague pub for the iconic svíčková na smetaně (beef tenderloin in a creamy vegetable sauce with cranberries and dumplings) or roasted ribs. And of course, a mug of cold Czech draft beer—or a local herbal Kofola—is a must 🍲.

Paint your face with neon, put on glowing gadgets, and experience the most illuminated night of your running life at Mizuno Neon Run in Prague!
