The event in a few words

Ready for an unforgettable experience in Budapest? 💫 It's not for a bachelor party that you're invited to pack your bags and fly to Hungary! 🇭🇺 And no, you'll be able to enjoy the very festive atmosphere of the city, but in a very different setting! 😉 So here we present the Night Run Budapest, also known as Decathlon Running Night! 🙌 You can tell your friends about the special night you experienced there 🕺, we're sure they won't expect it! 😎

So on the program for the festivities, 2 distances for several races! 🏃‍♂️ Note that all are night races! 🌙 To start, the classic Half Marathon, unassuming but always very effective and suitable for a wide range of runners! 🎽 If you want to share a special moment with a special person, we recommend signing up for the Couple Half Marathon, a duo 👯‍♂️ not just for lovers! 🫶 For those who prefer ménage à trois, then the Trio Half Marathon is ideal, the course is divided into 3 parts: 7.3 km; 7.6 km and 6.2 km for the last runner 🧑‍🧑‍🧒. Finally, for those who like it short but intense, there is the "10 km in Light" 🕯️ (at least you'll be sure that despite the night, you won't be plunged into darkness). To delight your ~~taste~~ eyes 👀, the courses zigzag through the most beautiful streets of the city 🌆. On your way, you can, for example, enjoy Heroes' Square 🦸‍♂️, one of the most important in Budapest, because its statues were built in honor of the leaders of the 7 founding tribes of Hungary. Yes Jamy, it might also be an opportunity to mark your history by becoming your own hero! 💪 Further along, you can "Kavvaler" on the Andrássy Avenue, built in 1872 📜, it became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2002, not bad, right? 🔑 Well, we're not going to spoil everything for you, to know the end of the movie, you'll have to participate! 😌

In the meantime, we are happy to play the tourist guides! 🕵️‍♀️ Of course, we don't yet compete with the Routard Guide (everyone has their domain) but we can give you some cool tips so you can have a great time, alone, with friends, or family! 👩‍👩‍👦 After the Night Run Budapest, if you want to start strolling the streets while listening to George Ezra sing "My house in Budapest my hidden treasure chest", then you should head to the St. Stephen's Basilica! 🫴 Its medieval architecture and gothic style will immerse you in the history of the capital 📚. If you prefer something more knightly, then the Buda Castle will meet your expectations 🏰, that's for sure! With it, you'll walk in the footsteps of the former Hungarian kings! 🤴 But we almost forgot something very important and, moreover, that can help you recover... Budapest is very well known for its incredible thermal baths! 🧖‍♀️ You can't miss it, it's an unforgettable experience with a very authentic style 🐠.

So take your crown as if you were going to a bachelor party 👑, to finally be the queen/king of the Night Run Budapest! 🫵
