The Josefský běh is a multi-terrain running event held annually around Saint Joseph's Day (19 March) in the city of Zlín in the Czech Republic.
Two race distances are available, a 5k (one lap) and a 10k (two laps).
The route is a hilly and scenic loop through forests and rural scenery in the north-eastern part of the city. Each lap includes approximately 120 metres of ascent.
Starting and finishing at the Čiperova Vila, a protected cultural monument, the course offers fine views of Zlín, a city of functionalist architecture, built around the Bata Shoes company which Tomáš Baťa founded there in 1894.
