Wizz Air Semi-Marathon de Budapest

Immerse yourself in the vibrant heart of Hungary by participating in the Budapest Half Marathon, set for September 5th, 2027. This race offers runners an unparalleled opportunity to explore one of Europe's most enchanting capitals, known affectionately as "the pearl of the Danube."
Choose from two exciting distances: a scenic 10 km route or the full half marathon experience (21.1 km). Both courses wind through Budapest’s historic streets and parks, showcasing its architectural marvels and rich cultural heritage. Whether you're running solo or in a relay team of 2 to 3 members, this race promises an unforgettable journey.
Budapest's story begins in 1873 when the cities of Buda and Pest merged with Obuda to form one united metropolis. Over time, it became a significant political and economic hub for Central Europe, earning its place as a city brimming with history and architectural splendor. From the iconic Danube River to the historic baths that dot the landscape—such as the Szechenyi Thermal Bath—the city offers an array of unforgettable sights.
The race course takes you past landmarks like Buda Castle and along the banks of the Danube, providing stunning views at every turn. The metro system, a marvel in itself with stations listed by UNESCO for their historical significance, adds another layer to this urban adventure.
After crossing the finish line, take some time to explore more of Hungary’s natural beauty. Just north of Budapest lies Duna-Ipoly National Park, perfect for those looking to escape into nature and enjoy fresh air after a day's run. For runners seeking more water features, Lake Balaton offers serene landscapes and is Europe’s largest lake.
The Budapest Half Marathon is not just about the race itself; it’s an invitation to experience Hungary in all its glory. From historic architecture to natural wonders, this event invites you into one of Central Europe’s most beloved cities for a day filled with running, discovery, and cultural immersion.
