This fifteenth winter trail race begins at the Pannonia Cultural Center, heading out of town and climbing toward the old lookout and castle ruins above the lake. It feels like a local runner's route, not a polished event: a challenging loop over Varda Hill, also used by hikers.
The best section is the ridge, where participants "run on a forest ridge road" across Varda Valley toward the Szentkiralyszabadja hunting lodge. Afterward, the course transitions to the bike path through Varda-volgy, follows the old railway line and the green-stripe tourist marking, and returns to the Pannonia Cultural Center. Look for the "orange ribbon marking"; this simple detail indicates the day's character.
