Starting from Szabadsag u. 1 in Diszel, with the Csobanc cultural house serving as the race center, the sixth I. Kertesi Trail Run offers a low-key dirt-and-hills day, distinct from a polished road event. The availability of both running and hiking options contributes to its relaxed local atmosphere, attracting over 60 runners, including families, beginners, and mid-pack trail enthusiasts who match the event's spirit.
The course consists of "80 percent dirt road, cart track, and trail," meaning varied footing, potential dust if dry, and sufficient unevenness to demand attention. Aid stations provide practical provisions: "Water, cola, isotonic drink," fruit, sweet and salty snacks, fatty bread, and the distinctly Hungarian "Free beer at some points." This event seems to prioritize a medal, warm food, and post-race shoe comparisons over finish line spectacle.
