Tihany in winter defines this event: it's not a road race, but the third running of a cold-weather trail and nordic walking event utilizing the peninsula. The atmosphere is "100% Tihany - 100% trail," with routes suitable for running, pole walking, or hiking, depending on your preference for the day.
Expect challenging terrain through "indescribably beautiful surroundings," a course where mud, frozen sections, or steep ascents can alter the pace. The marked trails towards the western horizon and up Csúcs-hegy provide a distinct trail character, and finishing can include a medal for those who appreciate the tradition. Participants include runners, nordic walkers, and hikers, all united by a common goal: a genuine winter challenge, not a casual outing.
