The marathon is an alluring challenge, but it might not be a good idea to try and run the entire distance at first attempt. Maybe you are in need of fun family time and some exercise on top of it. Does any of these descriptions fit you? Then the Balaton Marathon and Half-marathon is your thing!
A third-marathon on Saturday monring, a sixth-marathon in the afternoon, and a half-marathon on Sunday monrning - this is what awaits you on the Golden Coast of Siófok.
In 2013, additional programmes included dipping in the Lake, a running pálinka competition (in the frame of which runners competed for best time and best pálinka) and party till dawn. That weekend brought together a greta bunch of you, around 4800 runners, which was a new record by about 1000 persons. And many of you brought family and friends as well, just for the fun. The Lake is beautiful at this time of year, you shouldn't miss it!
Novelty: it is possible to complete the half-marathon on Saturday as well.
