Balaton Szupermaraton

Balaton is the focus: a multi-day ultra centered on circumnavigating the Hungarian sea, now in its 16th edition. The Balaton Szupermaraton is open to solo runners, pairs, or teams, creating a field that includes determined individuals alongside small groups handling legs, nutrition, morale, and the complex logistics of completing the circuit around the lake. The route traces the Balaton shoreline across four daily segments, with shorter alternatives for those joining for a weekend or a single day's challenge. A "stunning panorama" is possible when conditions are clear, but also expect the demanding effort of maintaining pace beyond typical marathon distances; this event encourages participants to "step out of your comfort zone" and sense the draw of the Balaton shore alongside fellow fatigued runners.
