Marathon races near Zamárdi

Gutman cellar places this event on the wine-country edges of the southern Balaton hills, with the Dél-Balatoni Csillagó Trail designed around running trails in these hills. It presents as a direct off-road day rather than a flashy road event, featuring hills, vineyard terrain, and an autumn trail atmosphere around the cellars. The course is on trails, with the main challenge coming from the stated 700 m of climbing, suggesting legs will be tested before the finish. A distinctive element is that it runs "at the Kötcse cellars," giving the race a specific local character: you run through a place connected to wine, hills, and dirt underfoot, not just generic woods.
