With distances ranging from 950 m to 21 km everyone in the family can find their own challenge and welcome the Summer by running!

A green and flowery park hosts the start and the finish area while the Half Marathon course will pass by Budapest’s best sights. Completing the distance is essentially a running sightseeing tour as you run across the Chain Bridge, past the castle, Parliament and many other famous buildings.

In 2019 there are over 30.000 participants on all the distances, with more than 9000 half marathon runners, 6000 Vivicitta (10 km) and 5000 Midicitta (7 km) runners. However, no need to worry about crowding and overtaking as the start is done in waves so everyone has plenty of space to run.

There were more than 2300 foreign runners, including 1300 on the half marathon, from 85 countries.
Most runners came from Germany, Britain, and France, but there were also participants from Peru, Malaysia, and Belize, just to name a few.

Along the course there will be refreshments every 4 to 5 kilometers and of course continuous medical supervision. Pace runners will help you hit your desired tempo. But having fun is just as important as running so we’ll maintain several musical points along the course for your entertainment.

Each year participants receive a unique, race branded technical T-shirt and finishers are given a gorgeous medal. Medal and T-shirt from 2021:

Note: 
77/2022, announced in early March. (III. 4.) repealed the previous legal act, which required certain protection measures for the holding of events with more than 500 employees due to the protection against the COVID-19 epidemic, and made the participation subject to the presentation of a protection certificate (exception: certified athletes).

The decree, now published, provides for the abolition of “certain protection measures against a pandemic coronavirus” (including mask removal, mandatory separation, the need to present a vaccination certificate or other documents).

This means that events organized by Budapest Sport Office can be attended in the future by anyone who enjoys the movement.

In other words, our events in 2022 are now free to attend without a vaccination certificate (and mask)!
