"I have already recomended the race and propose to my runner friends this race for the nextr year. The most important thing is that everybody can participate: ultrarunners and other also (team races). this is very well done"

"I have told that this race is especially good for those who want to try a multi day race for the first time, as the route is quite flat and the distances are not too long. I also showed them the amazing video! By the way, the one who made this, has made excellent work!!! Even my familiy (where no one runs at all) were very enthusiastic about it! "

"good, well organised race- excellent training for longer races, and a good hard race in its own right."

The 4. BSI Lake Balaton and Half Balathon Supermarathon ended on 20 March: during the 4 days of the race more than 900 runners took part on the ultra marathon race on different distances and categories. For the first time in the history of the race, a foreign runner won the Balaton Supermarathon individual male race!

This year spring did not show its nicest and sunniest face on the race. However some rain and wind did not stop runners from achieving great results and having a fantastic time!
The race included a number of distances: the 195 km around Hungary’s largest lake could be run for 4 days individually, in pairs and in teams of 3 or 4 runners. Then half the distance could be covered over the weekend within the frame of 2. BSI Lake Half Balaton Supermarathon also individually, in pairs or in teams of 3 runners.

Any runner wishing to venture into the world of ultra running could join the runners on any of the 4 days within the Marathon + race. And for the first time this year a marathon of 42 km could be run on the third day.
A few interesting numbers on the race:
4 days – 195,4 km – 900 participants
29 refreshment stations – 900 litres of iso drink, 2800 pieces of banana, 500 pieces of orange, 300 pieces of apples, 240 sacks of glucose.
We crossed 42 villages during the 4 days!
75 organisers, 87 militiamen and 12 policemen.
63 foreign runners from 16 countries!
