40. Wizz Air Budapest Félmaraton

Pázmány Péter sétány anchors the 40th running of this major city half marathon, a familiar BSI race drawing a large field. The appeal is straightforward: run through the capital’s most scenic areas alongside several thousand other participants, including individuals, relay teams, wheelchair users, handbikers, and students, all competing in the same event. The atmosphere is that of a large organized road race, not a small club run. It features chip timing, a closed and secured course, aid stations, medical support, and the typical activity at the finish area. All finishers receive a custom technical running shirt and a distinct finisher medal. The wheelchair and handbike categories also have their own awards, contributing to a more comprehensive race atmosphere beyond a standard mass-start half marathon.
