Nagykovacsi hosts this 2026 mountain half marathon within the Buda Hills, with the race center located in the "picturesque park of the Teleki-Tisza Castle." It is a "Family-friendly race in the Buda Hills," offering options for children, newer runners, and experienced participants seeking a challenging hilly course. The event emphasizes a local, outdoorsy, and trail-focused character.
The course consists entirely of trails, with no road or track sections, meaning your pace will be dictated by the terrain itself. The mountain half marathon includes significant climbing, and the finish adds a challenge by descending into the "legendary Crosskovacsi Ring Mountain Bike XC downhill track." This final section is a notable feature: fast if your legs remain strong, difficult if they are fatigued, and a good reason to conserve energy.
