The Budapest Marathon is an annual racing event held in the city of Budapest, Hungary. The Budapest Marathon is usually held in early October or late September.
While the current version of the marathon has been held since 1984, there was an annual marathon that was organized in Budapest since 1961.
Though the course of the marathon changes every year, the main routes usually remain same year-to-year. Due to the large number of participants, a zoned start is implemented and runners are released in waves. The marathon not only passes through two UNESCO World Heritage sites, it also crosses the Danube several times.
The event includes a Marathon, Marathon Relay (2 person & 4 person), 30K, 10K and 5K
