The Szilas running loop at Óceánárok utca serves as the central point, with Újpest participating in the second edition of a run that resembles neighbors gathering in running gear more than a competitive event. Phrases like “Run a few laps for Újpest” and “let’s run into autumn” capture the essence: a spirited community run prioritizing the enjoyment of running, open to all ages.
The course consists of approximately 55% stream-side path and 45% asphalt, offering a varied terrain rather than a continuous road surface. It includes Kósa Pál sétány, Farkaserdő utca near Babits Mihály Gimnázium, and the stream banks. Participants will find refreshments, music, and unexpected elements, all within a welcoming and encouraging environment. Unique local touches include free beer for quarter marathon finishers, distinct half marathon graphics for longer distance runners, and a general enthusiasm for new routes, participants, and dates.
