About this race
The Balaton Marathon and Half Marathon is a two-day running weekend centered on Siófok and Fonyód on Lake Balaton, with the primary start area located on Petőfi sétány in Siófok. It takes place on a November weekend as a season-ending event, and the program offers several distances, not just one fixed race.
Runners may select a marathon or half-marathon format, run individually or as a pair, and either complete their distance in a single day or divide the effort over two days. The organizers describe it as “Futás, buli, Balaton!” — running, party, Balaton — but the difficulty is rated 60+ and “Durva!”, indicating it is more than a casual lakeside jog; participants aim for personal bests as well as a relaxed final run with friends.
