Did you know? (interesting things about Budapest)01. március
Andrássy Street
Even though Andrássy Street, which has been part of the World Heritage since 2002, is divided into three parts, it still shows a unique architectural unit. The reason for this is that it was built in less than a decade. One of the most valuable buildings on Andrassy Street is the Palace of the Hungarian National Opera. Along the street you can also find the old Music Academy, the old Art Gallery and the building of the Hungarian Academy of Fine Arts.
This street also has a treasure that is not visible on the surface: the millennium underground. It also stops at Hero's Square where Andrassy Street ends.
Come and run along this uniquely beautiful street! Register for the race and during the first few kilometres you can enjoy the sight of these buildings.

Did you know (interesting things about Budapest)?11. augusztus 2007
The Buda Castle Cave Hospital is now open to visitors
Rare natural phenomena and historical memories await the visitors in the rooms of the Secret Military Hospital and the air-raid shelter. The location of the caves - under the Buda Castle Hill - is unique in the world. The largest wax museum of Hungary welcomes tourists with a historical exhibition titled "From the Prehistoric Times to the Cold War".
The Buda Castle Cave Hospital was built towards the end of 1943; it was intended as an emergency surgery hospital capable of treating up to 200 patients at a time. The other parts of the cave system provided shelter for 4-6 thousand people in World War II. The area was classified as a secret object, under the Russian leadership it was going to be made into a nuclear air-raid shelter. The large exhibition - on over 2000 sq metres - is an adventurous journey into the past of the Buda Castle Hill, visitors discover the nowadays fortunately unknown world of war doctoring and military air raid shelters. History is brought to life by over 80 large, lifelike wax figures made by the latest wax working technology in the rooms of the Buda Caves and the former Hospital untouched since the 1960's.

Parliament
In 1902, after a mere 17 years of construction, Hungary presented itself with what was then the largest parliament building in the world. An architectural echo of the Houses of Parliament of London, this neo-Gothic edifice expressed the country's robust self-confidence at the beginning of the 20th century. In front of the Parliament there are several monuments to the nation's lost struggles: the wars for independence in 1703, 1848 and again in 1956. The Parliament also contains the crown jewels of Hungary - the Holy Crown and the Coronation Insignia, which were worn by Hungarian kings since the Middle Ages. At the end of WWII, these regalia were spirited out of the country and ended up in the United States, not to be returned until 1978.
Should you come to our race, you will be able to observe this gorgeus building from all sides; your will run exactly beside the Parliament but will also see it from the other side of the Danube. Don't miss this opportunity!

Andrássy Street
Even though Andrássy Street that has been part of the World Heritage since 2002, is divided into three parts, it still shows a unique architectural unit. The reason for this is that it was built in less than a decade. One of the most valuable buildings of Andrassy Street is the Palace of the Hungarian National Opera. Along the street you can also find the old Music Academy, the old Art Gallery and the building of the Hungarian Academy of Fine Arts.
The street also has a treasure that is not visible on the surface: the millennium underground. It also stops at Hero's Square where Andrassy Street ends.
Come and run along this uniquely beautiful street! Register to the race and on the first few kilometres you can enjoy the sight of these buildings.

A postponed marathon with great mood
Hungarian winner on the Budapest Marathon - Tamas Toth and Judit Foldigne Nagy are the best
Originally the 21st PLUS Budapest Marathon was planned for 1st October - finally the political event, demonstrations in Budapest caused the putting of the race off for 15th October. This change in the date didn't influence the atmosphere of runners and supporters. A marathon for individual runners and relay teams, a 30 km, a minimarathon, a fun run and a family run - all these races were held on the same day - there were 11 500 participants on the event.
A great, sunny weather, a real indian summer, great for running, welcomed the runners in Sunday morning in the City Park. The first start was at 9.40 when young and beginner runners complete a 3.5K distance in the park. The main attraction of the day came then: the marathon starters collected in the start zone and they were waiting the sound of the boom of cannon. The field was reached as far as more hundred meters. The most excited people were the runners who have run the first marathon in their life - we counted more then 100 of them.
However most of foreign runners could not start the race because of the postponing, more then 300 participants from 31 foreign countries could start on the race. Most foreigners came from Finland, England, Italy and France, but there were representatives from USA and Japan.
More then 1700 individual runners start on the 42 km distance and another 1700 runners complete the 42 km in a 3 or 5-member relay team. It was the first time when runners can start on a 30 km distance from the point of the 12 195 m of the marathon. Participants could start according their running speed, so they could join the marathon runners with the same rate.
The companions weren't bored because either, they could enjoy the family day that was held on the Felvonulási Square from the morning.
A runner words: "I want to congratulate you and your team on the magnificent well organized race event. For me it was the first marathon and I will remember it in my heart. The city is as beautiful as the people itself. It's a lovely city with lot of history. I know for sure that I will visit the city again so I can see more of it. Many thanks from me to all of you that made the event possible and see you next time...

Plus Budapest Marathon is adjourned - the safety of the runners is the most important
Because of the unfortunate events in Budapest and the suggestion of authorities the organisers decided to adjourn the marathon race that was planned originally for 1st October 2006. The new scheduled date is 15th October 2006. After negotiations with the authorities the decision is expected in the second part of this week.
Arpad Kocsis, the race organiser of the Budapest Marathon: "We are really disappointed that the biggest sport event in Hungary had to be adjourned. But the president of the state and other honours suggested to postpone the race and the competent persons of the Hungarian police couldn't guarantee the safety of the runners' and the spectators', so we had to pass this decision. The anxiety for runners and visitors of the event (about 200 000 people) is in the first place at this moment. Of course I understand the disappointment of the runners who have trained hardly for the marathon and looked forward to the race. Organisers who were working for months to prepare the event are disappointed as well. This is why we are making efforts to hold the race on 15th October so the tradition of this 20 years old event hasn't be broken off.
Péter Eszényi, the managing director of Plus Hungary added: "We support the decisions of the Organisers. The security of the participants is the most important thing. We are still committed as main sponsor to the Plus Budapest International Marathon, because this race is one of the most outstanding sport event in Hungary. We would be really glad if we can organise it on another date.

Dear Fellow Runner!21. szeptember 2006
Because of the unfortunate events in Budapest over the past several days, (street demonstrations and riots,) police are unable to provide and guarantee the security of the Budapest marathon and its participants on the day of the elections.
After holding negotiations with municipal authorities and the police, we have been forced to reschedule the event and we will not be able to organise it on 1st October.
We are currently holding talks with authorities about holding the event probably on October 15, a date that is also supported by the city's management committee. A final decision on the new date will be made on September 27. We will provide you with further information as soon as it becomes available. We regret this inconvenience.
Yours sincerely,
