Just over 2,500 years ago, according to the legend, after a great battle that saw the Greeks triumph over the Persians, a soldier ran all the way to Athens to tell his people the good news:
nikomen
–we won.
This year, thousands of runners can say the same thing after completing the classic 26-mile-long race, since after the Budapest route that includes two World Heritage sites, everyone who crosses the finish line can be deemed a winner.
The city's biggest sports event, the
SPAR Budapest Marathon Festival
, has become legendary in the past 29 years. Last year, 21,930 runners were registered – no similar event has ever drawn so many participants. Go, choose a distance, and be part of this huge running event!
