Wizz Air Budapest Félmaraton 2026

Margitsziget and Pázmány Péter sétány provide this race with a significant event atmosphere without being overly complicated. Now in its 41st year, the Wizz Air Budapest Half Marathon is the autumn half marathon along the Danube, taking participants through some of the capital's most scenic areas at a running pace rather than a sightseeing one. Expect a large international field and thousands of runners around you from the initial nervous start. The course is fast and flat, a road route where you can settle into your pace and genuinely consider a personal best. It is also engaging in a positive way: numerous fellow runners to work with, enough landmarks and riverside sections to hold your attention, and a finish line with a distinctive finisher medal you will want to keep. The event offers the straightforward appeal of a fast city half marathon: arrive fit, run well, and let the crowd help you through difficult sections.
