One hundred and two years ago, Sokol members organized an anniversary run for the young Republic of Czechoslovakia. The organisers had a similar idea to the relaying of the Olympic torch, only instead of a flame, they were conveying greetings to the first president of the Republic, Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk. For the third year, Sokol organizations have rejuvenated the idea and are organizing runs in many locations in the Czech Republic and abroad.
