Marathon or Volkswagen Prague Marathon and haven't registered yet, have an 
option to do so through RealBuzz - a new official RunCzech charity partner 
or through other charitable organizations available on the RunCzech website.

the trend of buying a start number through a charity and run for a good 
cause. Last year our partners charities received a total of EUR 268 580",
