FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

There Are 6 Months Left Till The 24th Spar Budapest International Marathon

The world is starting to pay more and more attention to the Budapest
Marathon, which has become one of the favorite targets of the
marathon-running society. Last year nearly 13 000 runners participated at
the race in 10 different distances. There were 3000 runners who achieved
the marathon distance. This is the only marathon race where you can run the
30k distance, which is very useful for those who are not prepared for the
marathon yet. Teams or groups of friends can enjoy the relay race of 3 or
the ekiden for 5 persons. The nice atmosphere and the total friendliness of
the race are raised by street musicians along the course. The course is
wide and flat so this is perfect to beat one's personal record as well. A
month earlier in September the Nike International Budapest Half Marathon
takes place 24th time, which is similar to the marathon race in its nice
atmosphere, relay, fun run and the same organization and the similar
beautiful medal for each finisher. The start number allows you to enter the
famous Széchenyi thermal bath for free after the race. Running through the
world heritage of Andrássy Street and along the riverside that divides the
city in two parts gives an unforgettable experience for every runner.
Spectators are uniformly spread out along the course but slightly thin on
the ground, so if you are more turned on by fantastic view and to running a
quick time, this is your race.

The next Budapest Marathon is on October 4, 2009.
The next Budapest Half Marathon is on September 6, 2009.
