About the race

The 42nd Telekom Vivicittá Spring Half Marathon is a two-day running festival held in Budapest with a variety of AIMS-certified distances. The event centers on Margaret Island, where the start and finish areas are placed in a green, flower-filled park, and the routes run past several of the city's well-known sights and UNESCO World Heritage locations.

Sunday offers longer distances while Saturday features shorter, festival-style races. Distances available across the weekend include:

21.1 km individual half marathon
21.1 km relay options (teams of 2 and teams of 3)
10 km
7 km and other shorter festival distances

The event combines competitive and recreational elements: relay options, a charity running opportunity from the moment of registration, exhibitor tents and family programs, and on-course musical bands and supporters. Organizers provide a unique finisher medal and a technical running shirt for participants. In 2026 the weekend drew nearly 38,000 participants and visitors from nearly 100 countries, and the event is presented as Hungary's largest two-day spring running festival.
