VI. Balaton MTB Maraton

The Balaton-felvidék delivers open hillside riding and changing ground under the tyres, setting up a proper off-road day rather than a polished road event. VI. Balaton MTB Maraton is the sixth running of the region’s “one and only mountainbike race,” built around “varied terrain conditions and fantastic routes” instead of showy extras. The course offers both a race option and a more relaxed tour category, drawing riders who want to push themselves and those there for “relaxing cycling.” The terrain truly does the talking here. The venue itself is noted as “outstanding on a European level,” with “civilized catering, WC, shower, washbasin, outdoor stage, restaurant, ample parking” available after the ride.
