Only marathon in the World having 2 UNESCO World Heritage sights on its course

Three records were broken on the 28th Spar International Marathon in Budapest on Saturday 12th!
This year 21 930 runners were registered which is 2500 more than last year and 4900 participants ran the whole marathon! Our splendid capital attracted 3000 foreign runners from over 68 countries! Seems like participants from last years were spreading the news and more and more people find Budapest a perfect destination to run their marathon!
Runners commented that it's a marathon where the course is not overcrowded but you don't feel alone on the route either. The participants completed their courses through the most beautiful parts of Budapest, they crossed world-heritage sites on their way. Running Spar International Marathon is not just a sport activity but also a sightseeing experience, which is very enriching for the soul!
Gabor Jozsa, three-times champion said that the course was harder but the crowd's incredible cheering compensated him for everything.
Many blind runners and contenders in wheelchair participated in the run with the help of other runners. Also 59 children from 42 countries of 5 continents complted the classic marathon course together, to draw the attention to the millions of children living in difficult conditions all over the world.

Running Tours Budapest Team also participated in the marathon, in cooperation with LÁSS! association for visually impaired people.
We hope to see you (again) next October at the marathon, but until then, if you visit Budapest, don't forget to book a tour with Running Tours Budapest! (www.runningtoursbudapest.com)
