TRAIL RUNNING INDIVIDUAL RACE

We return to the Balaton highlands with our autumn race weekend. You also loved Csopak in 2022 – and this time you can choose from an even wider range of events. Our race center is again in the Balaton Fun Park, in Nosztori.

For those who haven’t been here yet, we’ll tell you that this terrain is pleasantly gentle, it doesn’t contain a crazy amount of elevation gain.

If you want to compete with the best, register to the Alpha heats –  absolute winners are awarded.

If your primary goal is the pleasure of achievement we suggest you the Beta heats. (find the details in the Race and Obstacles Rules)

EITHER YOU COMPETE IN THE ALPHA, OR IN THE BETA HEAT…
✅ You’ll get your OWN and permanent Fighters’ Run race BIB number headband by brand 575 Factory
✅ RICHLY EQUIPPED tables at the refreshment stations
✅ COOL and unique Finisher medal
✅ You are our guest for a DELICIOUS lunch party after the race
✅ We provide race photos FOR FREE

✅Fantastic festival athmosphere

If you choose PREMIUM registration, you get your unique high-quality MIZUNO Finisher t-shirt. If you don’t need for a t-shirt, you can choose the ECO registration, which is cheaper.

You are lovingly welcome!
