19. Pécs Maraton

The 19th Pécs Maraton takes place at Malomvölgyi Lake and Park Forest, presenting itself as a traditional local race within a tranquil green area. The appeal is straightforward: running alongside Malomvölgyi Lake in "wonderful surroundings," ideally with spring sunshine, reflecting the organizers' sentiment, “We are optimistic.” The course consists of a lake-shore loop and a short marked path, prioritizing a running rhythm over navigational challenges. The terrain is described as a "forest-covered packed dirt course, with minimal elevation difference," conducive to a steady pace. Participants can select their preferred distance, and all finishers receive a medal. Category winners are awarded prize packages, with the first-place finisher also receiving a cup.
