About the race
The Vivicittá Spring Half Marathon in Budapest is a two-day running event held on Margaret Island with routes that pass several of the city’s well known sights and UNESCO World Heritage locations. The programme offers AIMS-certified distances on Sunday and shorter family and festival races on Saturday. The Sunday programme includes individual and team relay options over the half marathon distance as well as a 10 km race.
The event is staged in a green, flower-filled park on Margaret Island where start and finish areas and exhibitor tents are located. Entrants can register as charity runners. The weekend combines racing with a festival atmosphere, with live bands, exhibitor tents and supporters along the route. In 2026 the event weekend attracted nearly 38,000 participants and included runners from almost 100 countries.
