Running lovers already mark the biggest leisure event of the running autumn, the SPAR Budapest Marathon ® Festival, in their calendars well in advance , but those who are just getting to know the sport should also take part in this event on October 14 and 15.
At the justly popular running festival, you can measure yourself over different distances, whether you are a professional or an enthusiastic amateur, a routine or a beginner. You can choose from 18 distances during the two-day event - the stages of which pass through one of Europe's most beautiful routes, full of world heritage attractions, in the heart of Budapest. On Saturdays, families and entrepreneurs for shorter distances traditionally start. New this year, you can walk three different distances - 4, 11 or 18 km - on Budapest 150 City Tours, in which the participants also pay tribute to the capital's 150th birthday. Sunday's classic marathon distance of 42.2 km can be completed individually, in pairs, or even in a four-person relay, but you can also choose the one-third or half-marathon distance.
Remember! You can pre-register for all distances and races of the event until midnight on October 10.
Are you faster than a racing driver?
This year, SPAR Hungary is once again the main sponsor of one of the biggest leisure sports events in our country: the company's goal is to make as many people as possible fall in love with exercise and draw attention to the importance of a healthy lifestyle. Near the start-finish section set up on the Pázmány Péter promenade in Buda, the department store chain will set up shop with the stand of its now 15-year-old brand, S-BUDGET. Here you can try the Reflexfal skill game and even prove that your reaction time is faster than that of a racing driver! You can take part in the Inbody body composition measurement, find out what the ratio of your muscle and fat tissue is, how much water your body contains, whether your weight is appropriate, and you can also familiarize yourself with the health-conscious lifestyle products of the SPAR and INTERSPAR stores.
Donation run for the needy
The SPAR Budapest Marathon Festival is not only a large-scale sporting event, but also cultural and charitable. With your run, you can support the Brave Camp, SUHANJ! Foundation, UNICEF, Szent Márton Children's Rescue Service, the Hospital School team, or the Hungarian Maltese Charity Service. Many bands ensure the good mood of the competitors and fans. Participants come to the festival from almost a thousand settlements in our country, but more than 2,800 foreign runners from 90 countries also visit the competition, where the number of participants can reach 20,000 people.
Be one of them, put on your running shoes, we are waiting for you at the biggest leisure sports event of the fall!
