Benkó Zoltán Leisure Center shapes this ultra: a large grassy, wooded park encircling Benkó Hill, featuring a lake, sports facilities, and ample paths allowing a long day on foot to feel contained but not confined. The essence is captured in the Hungarian phrase “FUSS EGY NAPOT!” — run for a day — which sounds less like hype than a fair warning. Expect park running over road drama: marked tracks, additional trails, and the challenge of the hill, with the city panorama opening from the summit as your legs register the ascent. Around the course are everyday park scenes: walkers, joggers, anglers, kayakers, wakeboarders, street-workout equipment, beach courts, and the Domb buffet, so the race should feel like sharing a busy outdoor space while you chip away at the hours.
