20. JYSK Balaton Maraton és Félmaraton

Petőfi promenade anchors the 20th JYSK Balaton Marathon and Half Marathon, a late-season gathering for runners with a club atmosphere, not a glossy expo. The goal is straightforward: end the season with a personal best, or simply enjoy "a pleasant run" at this jubilee edition, alongside familiar faces from weekend long runs. The event is again a one-day affair, featuring repeated laps and staggered starts. Longer races are divided into sections, with multiple options for solo or paired running. It's "traditionally about running clubs and good atmosphere," so invite your friends. The paired format includes a unique timing element: an extra chipped bib for the final section, with the team time calculated from both runners' finish in that segment.
