FIFTH STOP: BUDAPEST
NIGHT, RUNNING, FRIENDS
In 2024, for the eleventh time: Generali Night Run Budapest in the beautifully illuminated capital! Participants can choose from four distances, and the half marathon distance can also be completed in relay. According to our plans, the route will once again pass by Buda Castle, go under the Chain Bridge along the lower embankment, allowing you to admire the illuminated Parliament and the Margaret Bridge – and of course, we won’t leave out the echoing Tunnel either. Along the route, we will welcome you at various points with music and visual effects!
On the last weekend of August, the race center will be set up at the Műegyetem wharf, where the start and finish area, the EXPO, information desk, restrooms, and baggage storage are located. In addition to the usual distances, we will continue our 2020 innovation, the headlamp race. Mizuno remains our supplier for event T-shirts, while BioTechUSA takes care of the complete refreshments. At our refreshment points, we will continue to provide chilled water and isotonic drinks, and at the finish line, we will have D24 cold non-alcoholic beer ready for you!
It is still worth registering as soon as possible for our 2024 race so that you can secure your spot and take advantage of the early bird online discount!
WE ARE PROUD OF OUR ECO-FRIENDLY REFRESHMENT POLICY
Starting from 2021, at all of our races, you will only pour the provided isotonic drinks and water into your own cup or bottle at the refreshment points and the final refreshment area. Together, we can minimize the ecological footprint of our races!

Here!
AT OUR RACES, WE DO NOT USE PLASTIC OR PAPER SINGLE-USE CUPS AT THE REFRESHMENT POINTS.
We adopt the well-established slogan and method used at trail races: BRING YOUR OWN CUP! We provide refreshments in your own cups, bottles, or hydration containers! To avoid congestion at the refreshment points, we will provide longer stations compared to previous years and set up a sufficient number of ECO refreshment tables that have already been tested in the 2021 season. You can help us DRAMATICALLY REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF WASTE generated at our events by individually obtaining isotonic drinks and water.
RESULT ANNOUNCEMENT
Prizes will only be presented during the result announcement. We kindly ask the podium finishers to honor the race and their fellow competitors by attending the result announcement in person. Prizes will not be awarded or mailed to winners who arrive late for the announcement.
MEDICAL SUPERVISION
The field will be accompanied by a medical team. You can find their phone number on your race number. Please pay extra attention to any distressed runners during the race! If the medical team determines that a participant is not fit to continue the race, they may remove the race number and disqualify the participant.
RACE REGULATIONS
You can access them by clicking HERE.
PHOTOS
Professional photographers from Futófotó will take pictures of you during the race, which can be viewed and purchased on the futofoto.hu website in the week following the race!
AND FINALLY, THE RUNNER’S ETIQUETTE
Keep to the right side of the running track and always overtake from the left. Give way to faster runners. Choose the appropriate starting zone based on your running performance. We measure net time, so it doesn’t matter when you cross the starting line. Maintain cleanliness both at the race center, on the running track, and after the refreshment stations (dispose of energy bar and gel packaging in the designated bins). If you smoke, please respect your fellow runners by only smoking in designated areas at the race center. Always wear your race number, as it distinguishes you from those who participate without registration – unauthorized participants will be removed from the race area. The organizer reserves the right to modify the program and regulations.
ALWAYS RUN IN SHOES THAT SUIT YOUR OWN FEET AND RUNNING STYLE! THE BEST CHOICE FOR THIS IS MARATONMAN DEPO; VISIT OUR ONLINE STORE OR COME TO TÜZÉR UTCA 9-11, DISTRICT XIII!
