Recurring 5K races near Miskolc

Races that repeat — weekly, monthly or yearly

Tokaji Szüreti Futás

Rákóczi utca places this race among the vines, with "running in the Tokaj wine region" setting the mood. The Tokaji Szüreti Futás coincides with the harvest festivities, so anticipate less sterile road-race energy and more autumn grape-town atmosphere. Underfoot, it is an asphalt run, allowing you to settle into rhythm instead of negotiating trail surprises. The field is capped at 1,500, large enough for company but not so big that you disappear, and the harvest setting adds a unique touch: run first, then let the wine-region atmosphere envelop you.

Košice Peace Marathon

The Košice Peace Marathon is a road race held in Košice, Slovakia, typically on the first Sunday of October. Established in 1924, following Vojtech Bukovský's inspiration from the Paris Olympics, it stands as Europe’s oldest marathon and the world's third-oldest. The marathon has been contested annually since 1941, presenting a strong case for the world's oldest continuously operated marathon. The current route is a two-lap, flat, traffic-free asphalt course through the historic city center, featuring 74 meters of elevation gain. The race has maintained the full 42.195 km marathon distance since its inception, with participants originally starting near the Turňa Castle ruins. Women were included in 1980, and the event now attracts international runners, club athletes, and local participants, with over two thousand finishers in recent years. Maratónsky klub Košice organizes the event, which holds AIMS certification and World Athletics Silver Label status.

Hortobágyi Pusztai Futás

The Nine-arched Bridge places this run at the edge of Hortobágy National Park, on the "endless plain of the puszta." The Hortobágyi Pusztai Futás feels like a straightforward road race set against a distinctive landscape: open, flat, and exposed as only the Great Plain can be. The surface is asphalt, not a trail, but the setting provides much of the character. Expect long views, minimal shelter, and a rhythm where pacing is more important than technical skill; the field is limited to 1,500 runners, starting at the Kilenclyukú híd.

Nyíregyházi Maraton

Sóstó and the city center define this road race: part lakeside excursion, part urban run, with Kossuth tér serving as the hub. It is considered the region's largest running event, and the Nyíregyházi Maraton offers a course where the route is more significant than any surrounding fanfare. Expect direct road running across known local terrain instead of an unknown circuit: Sóstó, the city center, and the main square are the focal points. With several race distances and a field limit of 3,000 participants, it should attract a substantial crowd without feeling overwhelming; the appeal is straightforward, a fall city race on familiar streets and a recognizable starting point.

Kováčovská desiatka

Kováčovská desiatka is a 10 km race held in Kováčová, Slovakia. The start and finish lines are located at the local football stadium. The race begins at 11:00 AM on a course that is not officially certified, positioning it as a local road-and-trail event rather than a competition focused on setting formal records. The route incorporates both asphalt and forest roads, offering participants a varied terrain instead of a course solely on pavement. The Municipality of Kováčová is the organizer of this race, which is now in its 35th year and has seen 198 finishers. Age groups include junior, open, masters, and senior categories, with distinct divisions for men and women. The modest entry fee suggests a community-focused race designed for wide involvement.

Lesný beh priateľov Šemše

Lesný beh priateľov Šemše is a forest running event in Šemša offering three distances: 22 km, 11 km, and 5.5 km. Participants can select a short, middle, or long route. The event also features children’s categories alongside men’s and women’s races. The course consists of paved forest roads and paths, dirt roads, and some asphalt, making it a mixed-surface countryside run rather than a pure road race. The event is organized by the civic association Šemša v pohybe in cooperation with the municipality of Šemša. Advance registration offers lower fees than on-site registration, with prices increasing based on the chosen distance.

About 5K races in Miskolc

Miskolc Training Notes

Miskolc hosts 11 5K races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.

Locals run from the city centre toward the Szinva and out to Majális Park when they want forest legs. Avas hill gives short bite for intervals, and the Bükk Mountains start close enough for proper trail days. Marathon Club Miskolc keeps the race scene grounded, and the University Running Club meets Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays from 18:15 to 19:45 at the Athletics track. Miskolc Maraton works as a road anchor. The 31. Bükki Hegyi Maraton Kisgyörgy Ádám Emlékverseny brings the mountain crowd to Majális-park. Košice-Miskolc Ultramarathon finishes at Városház tér after 118.15 km.

Locals ride Miskolc like a hinge between flat base miles and hard climbing. MRCC Miskolci Road Cycling Club is the road crew here, and its line says it well: Miskolc országúti kerékpáros csapata vár, hogy együtt tekerjünk. The city centre rolls east toward the Sajó valley when you want steadier Z2. The Lower Bükk and Bükk Highlands put the work west and north. The route runs 4 km and climbs 908 m. 2 km. Királyasztal MTB Maraton is the anchor for MTB legs.

June and August pull the most riders out, and those months suit long road days, MTB laps, and gran fondo pacing. Summer in Miskolc can feel fresh, then warm and humid, and daytime temperatures of 30°C or higher are common. Locals start earlier, carry more drink, and keep intervals honest on shaded climbs near the Bükk. Winter changes the rhythm for runners and cyclists. Snow and ice dominate the season, and Miskolc receives about 120 cm of snowfall annually. Road bikes lose time, trail shoes gain grip, and Z2 moves toward cleared paths, the Athletics track, and careful lower routes.
