Budapest Marathon was my first international marathon, and it was really enjoyable.
It’s a great way to see the cities major sights in a short space of time! Almost the entire run is spent by the river, crossing multiple different bridges and running on the promenade. This serves as a great way to see the palaces, castle etc.
The aid stations were good, offering not just oral refreshments but wet sponges and huge buckets of water for “dunking”. This was very well received on a hot marathon day!
Nice medal and t-shirt.
Highly recommended.
