Golden Spike (Zlatá tretra in Czech) is an annual athletics event at the Městský Stadion in Ostrava-Vítkovice, Czech Republic as part of the IAAF World Challenge Meetings. It was first organized in 1961.
The history of the meeting was interrupted in 1999, when the meeting was not held due to the apparent lack of interest of sponsors. From 2003 to 2009 the IAAF classified the Zlatá tretra Meeting among IAAF Grand Prix meetings.
Over the course of its history, numerous world records have been set at the Golden Spike.
