Mátra Maraton 2026

Oxygen Adrenalin Park at Mátra-Sástó hosts a mountain bike marathon with deep roots: a nearly 25-year tradition, previously run 19 times by Vuelta Sportiroda. After a long pause, Mátra Maraton returns to the known and loved Mátra trails, an event that feels crafted by those who missed the forest, the climbing, and the old race-weekend atmosphere. The routes lead onto familiar mountain paths, with the main draw being the opportunity to climb to Kékestető, the highest point in the region. In its peak years, the race attracted large numbers, but its core seems to be amateur teams setting up at the race center, families present along the course, and young riders becoming involved in the sport. The old memories highlight a unique aspect: shared mountain rides where "lifelong friendships were made."
