7. Ultrabalaton TRAIL 2025

Starting from the Csobánc cultural house on Szabadság utca, this is a trail day with a village-race feel, not a polished road show. The sixth edition of 7. Ultrabalaton TRAIL 2025 offers separate options for runners and hikers, described as “distances for runners” and “distances for hiking.” It seems like the kind of event where the race center is important: simple, local, and near the hills. The route is “80 percent dirt road, cart track, and trail,” so expect changes in rhythm underfoot rather than steady asphalt. The participants appear varied, from beginners and casual movers to those seeking a moderate challenge, with family and 60+ categories included. Aid stations provide the usual water, cola, isotonic drink, fruit, salty and sweet snacks, plus the distinctly Hungarian zsíros kenyér and, at some points, fröccs.
