IV. Kedvenc Kereskedőház Naplemente Félmaraton

Berzsenyi beach on the shore of Balaton serves as the start area where the lake's natural setting complements the runners' efforts. This fourth edition of the half marathon embraces a relaxed lakeside character: teams can share the distance, families can gather at the race center, and the event fully captures the Hungarian Sea atmosphere without taking itself too seriously. Following the run, participants clean up, collect their gear, and witness the trophy ceremony on the Balaton shore before everyone boards boats. This is where a unique tradition unfolds: two and a half hours of sailing and socializing on the lake, complete with quality wines and food, as the sun sets. The organizers mention "atomic-proof guidance," kilometer markers, a cup-free hydration station, pacers, a new custom medal, and even dog-friendly racing, although the boat party requires arrangements for pet care.
