Runtime Balaton Maraton 2026

Tagore sétány places this road race beside Balaton, offering the straightforward appeal of a marathon on the northern shore of Lake Balaton with views of the lake. The Runtime Balaton Maraton is a running day focused on the essentials: Balaton, pavement, and a field limited to 4,000 participants. The course features a road surface and a lakeside setting, allowing the scenery to provide motivation when the running gets tough. The early start time is suitable for a late-spring run by the water. The event's organization allows runners to choose between shorter and longer distances, all starting from the same Balaton-side location at Tagore sétány.
