At the Parádsasvár tour campsite, this mixed MTB and trail-running Challenge has a family-first feel. The 2023 event continued a monthly spring-to-autumn challenge series, with the aim that “every age group feels good” and each runner or rider “finds the race category that suits them best.” As a runner, I like that tone; it sounds competitive enough to pin on a number, but not so serious that kids get pushed to the edge of the day.
The running side sits alongside bike, gravel, short, long, and family options, so expect a start area full of different kits, nervous children, parents, and riders warming up. The start-finish area “gets special attention” because the long bike course passes through it, bringing aid, side programs, and the “cheering of spectators and families.” The family bike option has a proper quirk: children ride with an adult companion, whose job is to give safety even if they drop back.
