SEMI-MARATHON DE BUDAPEST (FÉLMARATON)

This half-marathon is probably more pleasant than its younger brother, the big marathon in October, because it is easier to get to, but it is no less sporting. It attracts 15,000 runners from all over the world on a 21 km course that crosses downtown Budapest. It is an opportunity to cross the Budapest bridges in short strides, to admire the Royal Castle from the Buda quay or to enjoy the view of the Parliament.
