SPAR Budapest Maraton

Hősök tere provides this road race a grand starting point, and the SPAR Budapest Maraton reads like a classic city marathon rather than a small local loop. The pitch is simple and concrete: one of Central Europe’s most beautiful marathon routes, running through the capital’s most spectacular points. The course is described as road all the way, with the key draw being time spent on both banks of the Danube. Expect a large field rather than a quiet club outing, with the event listing a cap of 30,000 runners, and a route built around landmarks rather than empty outskirts.
