Nagyerdei park hosts the start and finish for this summer night run, with the route extending onto paved downtown streets. This is more of a festive run than a competitive race. Participants run after dark, surrounded by city lights, enjoying the unique satisfaction of wearing a bib when most others are considering their second meal of the evening.
The atmosphere is the main draw for this "summer night run," featuring "light painting and music," suggesting a pace meant for enjoyment. A crowd focused on fun rather than intense competition is expected, with as many as 2,000 runners navigating the course at night. The surrounding glow and sound should be enough to overlook minor performance errors.
