About

The Marathon de Budapest takes place in the Hungarian capital on 9–10 October 2027, an event with more than 40 editions to its name. The race follows the banks of the Danube and draws around 30,000 participants from around the world, with concerts and entertainment along the course.

Nine formats are on offer: the marathon (solo, as a duo or as a four-person relay), the 30km, the half marathon, the 14km, the 10km, the 5km minimarathon and a combined 10+5km challenge. The 10km, 5km and 10+5km are held on 9 October, the other races on 10 October. The route passes several landmarks, including Buda Castle, the Hungarian Parliament, Gellért Hill and Margaret Island, crossing several bridges over the Danube.

Local specialities to try include goulash, lángos, foie gras and kürtőskalács, a traditional pastry also known as chimney cake.
