TIHANY TRAIL

Tihany Trail is a winter trail-running and Nordic walking race held on varied, challenging terrain in the beautiful surroundings of the Balaton Uplands. The course is especially distinctive because participants run along the rim of the caldera and on a rocky cliff edge, making for an exciting and scenic race. Participants can choose from 5, 10 and 15 km distances, and aid stations provide hydration and energy. This is a real treat for trail runners, attracting running enthusiasts even in winter.

Race-pack collection takes place from 8:00 to 9:50, followed by a warm-up with Gabi Piros at 9:50. Refreshments are available at two points on the course and at the event centre. There will be no cups at the aid stations, so participants must bring a flask or cup. On the 15 km course, the first aid station is at the Forest School (approximately 6.9 km) and the second is beside the Apáti Church (approximately 10.3 km). <i:am> mineral+ energy drink and cherry-flavoured hypotonic drink are also available on the course. Trail-running shoes are recommended, with anti-slip aids if needed; road-running shoes are not suitable for the terrain. The race starts at 10:30. The event centre is at Tihanyi Bencés Iskola, Tihany, Csokonai u. 73. The organisers recommend trail-running shoes and, if needed, anti-slip aids. Participants must bring their own cup or flask for the aid stations.
