About the Wizz Air Budapest Half Marathon

Budapest's early-autumn half is a major destination race with a field capped at 13,500. It gives international runners a standalone 21.1-kilometre tour rather than requiring entry in the city's spring marathon weekend.

Course

The city course starts near Pázmány Péter Promenade and uses broad roads around Budapest's central sights and Danube corridor. Frequent turns and bridge exposure can interrupt rhythm despite the generally fast profile.

Race-day weather

Early September can bring mild morning temperatures, but sunny conditions may become warm before later waves finish. Wind near the Danube and bridges is a more likely pacing factor than sustained climbing.
