Vaskapu is situated high in the Visegrád Hills, with the old protected shelter at the summit offering a wide view back over the town. This is a compact trail day centered around Vaskapu Étterem and the Brilli Gyula shelter. The VASKAPU TRAIL offers a straightforward route: hill, woods, marked loops, and sufficient climbing to make the short options challenging. The “Vaskapu Csúcsfutás,” the most demanding option, begins at Márta panzió and concludes at Vaskapu following a swift climb. The “mikroTRAIL” and “TRAIL” both start and end at Vaskapu. White, yellow, and orange markers distinguish the courses, with the longer trail featuring more significant climbing. The event attracts a diverse group, from younger participants on the short course to experienced trail runners tackling the larger loop. Age limits indicate its family-friendly nature, acknowledging the terrain is not flat.

From Nagymaros's Fő tér, the VIII Dunakanyar Half Marathon enters a river bend that explains runners' autumn return. It carries the spirit of "Hungary's iconic autumn half marathon": local, runner-centric, and centered on the "stunning Danube panorama" instead of city streets. The course follows an asphalt bike path alongside the Danube. Longer distances turn at Zebegény before returning to Fő tér for the finish. It attracts runners organized by runners, offering a season-ending community atmosphere. The eco-friendly setup is significant: no plastic cups or PET bottles, sorted waste collection, and a prompt to use personal cups or bottles at aid stations.
