According to legend, about 2,500 years ago, after the battle of Marathon a soldier ran all the way to Athens to announce the good news to the Greeks:
Nikomen -"We have won"
.
This year in Hungary thousands of runners will be able to say the same
for the 29th time
after completing the
classic
distance, since everyone who makes it to the end of the deservedly famous Budapest route, running past two World Heritage Sites, and crosses the finish line can consider themselves winners.
Over the past 30 years the
SPAR Budapest Marathon Festival
has become legendary, and has grown into the biggest outdoor public sport event in the country. In 2014 the number of registered runners reached 23,450 - no other similar event has had that many participants. Join this year’s race, pick a distance and be part of this gigantic running fiesta!
