Platán strand is the hub for the seventh-edition night run, VII. SZENT ISTVÁN FUTÁS. The race center, start, and finish are all waterside, by Lake Balaton under the summer night sky. This is a relaxed community event, not a demanding competition, welcoming over 60 runners. It's suitable for families, beginners, or those looking for a moderate effort or gentle shakeout.
The schedule begins with a walk at sunset, followed by a group warm-up and then the shorter race. Another warm-up precedes the main event, which starts after dark. Chip timing is provided for both races, along with a secured course, medical support, and post-race refreshments. Finishers will receive a medal, digital certificate, and a personal finish video. Remember to bring your own drinking cup.
