 Zatopek 10

A celebration of athletic talent of all ages, featuring Australia's greatest distance race named after legendary Czech runner Emil Zatopek and events hosted by our friends at Little Athletics Victoria and Victorian Athletic League. The 10,000m Zatopek title has been claimed by champions such as Ron Clarke, Steve Moneghetti, Craig Mottram, Susie Power, Sonia O’Sullivan and Lisa Martin-Ondieki. Who will be next?

Since its introduction in 1961 by the Victorian Marathon Club Zatopek:10 has grown to be one of Australia’s premier athletics race meets with Zatopek:10 doubling as an Australian Championship.
