Parking:

If you are arriving to the race by car, the most convenient way to park is in the Museum Underground Garage, which can be accessed from Dózsa György Street, at the intersection of Damjanich and Dvořák Promenade. The Underground Garage also offers the option of charging electric cars, and you can also pay for parking with a credit card. The Start/Finish is about a 9-10 minute walk from the Underground Garage. More information.

If you are not parking in the underground garage, choose a place where traffic regulations allow waiting.

When choosing your parking space, take into account the layout of the running route and the fact that you can only leave the closed sections after passing the field/opening the closure.

 Liget+ services and discounts

We recommend that you join the Liget+ community before arriving at the venue! You can register for free by providing your name and email address, in return for which you will immediately receive free wifi (in the City Park area), free toilet use in 3 restrooms (in the City Park Playground, the City Park Sports Center and the yellow, circular buildings next to the Youth Sports Fields), and a 10% discount at several City Park gastropubs (Léghajó Kert, Piknik Kert, Pántlika bistro, Széchenyi Kertvendéglő, Pavilonkert, Nyereg bistro). I'll join.

• The half marathon, half marathon duo and trio will start together at 10:00.

• Stage start at the event: 
• Participants will be initiated in several stages.
• Each zone is separated by tape, zone signs and organizers.
• The entry gates are kept open between the starting waves, so you can join the starters who match the planned pace during the start.
• The flags marking the time zones are the same as the zone markings on the start number: black numbers on a yellow background.
• The flags are always placed at the end of the starting zone.
• If you did not enter a planned pace, you will receive the sticker for the zone when you pick up your start number.
• If your start number does not have a time zone marking, you can request one at the competition center, at the registration troubleshooting table.

Starting zones:

At this event, everyone can only enter the starting zone corresponding to their predetermined expected pace (minutes/km).

This also aims to reduce the chaos of the first kilometers after the start, and unnecessary overtaking. If only runners with the same pace start from one zone, the beginning of the run will be much calmer and more predictable.

The transition zones will be divided according to the starting numbers. Transition is only possible in the transition zone.

Half Marathon Pairs Transition Zones at Heroes' Square, will be set up on the inside of the square, according to the starting number, after the finish gate.

You must change by handing over the CHANGE start number, which also includes the timing chip.

21.1 km in 2 laps, of which the pairs complete 1 lap each.

At the refreshment stations along the route, we will place giant bags attached to a cordon capable of storing 1 cubic meter of waste, primarily for collecting empty cups.

You will find the giant bags on the side of the route, after the last refreshment table.

The last giant bags will be placed 50 meters from the end of the station, this will be indicated by a separate sign. Please throw the waste you brought with you from the refreshment station into this at the latest!

Please do not throw away any waste generated along the route, but put it in the containers placed at the refreshment station.

At the queue station on Heroes' Square, we will place cup collection tubes; slide your used cup into them.

The level time is 3 hours net time, adjusted to the starting time of the last starter.

At the Half Marathon distance, 9 minutes/km, continuously slowing down

• The 2nd round cannot be started after 10:40 p.m. Anyone arriving after that time to start the second round will be directed to the finish line.
• From the 2nd lap, the closing bus follows the field at a continuously slowing pace of 9 minutes/km. If the average pace of the last runner slows below the above pace, he must board the closing bus, his start number will be crossed out, and he may not enter the finish area.
  • WE HAVE ASSUMPTED A 10-MINUTE START-UP FOR LEVEL TIME AND PASSAGE TIMES. IF THE START-UP DURATION DIFFERS FROM THIS, THE PASSAGE TIMES WILL ALSO CHANGE.

We can later set a limit on the number of participants for the distances, and registration will automatically stop when the limit is reached.

Half Marathon Pairs Teams: 1st-3rd place men's, women's and mixed.

The results will be announced based on the order of arrival at the finish line (gross time). The results list on the website (based on net time) may also show a different ranking.
