Várhegy, Víziváros, and the Danube-side cycle path define this race, blending sport with a historic setting. The Esztergom Half Marathon is structured like a road race incorporating the town's most scenic areas, with the Kis-Duna promenade serving as a key indicator of its appeal.
This is a road race, with the course passing well-known local landmarks instead of nondescript streets. Children's races are held alongside the main events. Ultrarunner Zsuzsanna Maráz is among the race patrons, indicating a diverse participant base from young beginners to seasoned runners. A practical option is the ECO entry: a reduced price without a shirt, and the choice of a previous year's medal.
