There is no other place in the world where you could run surrounded by such a panorama that Citadel Run offers. What is more, this year we are raising the stakes and you will be able to complete the 7, 14, 21 K races on a new course. The track twists and turns around the Citadel and Gellért hegy, so it will be a tough one, with lots of elevation and steps. This year professional background is provided by Sanyoszistálló again, who organize 4 pre-runs so that you can learn every bits and pieces of the route.

Details

The running competition is organized in three events, in 7 K, 14 K and 21 K races according to different age groups. The running track goes along the Citadel esplanade and under the ancient trees of Gellért hegy with sections covered sometimes by asphalt, other times gravel, but there are also forest paths. As mentioned, besides the 233 m elevation per lap there is a chunk of steps on the route too. The designated running course is a totally closed area with no vehicular traffic, but tourists are allowed to use it during the competition as well. So, we would like to ask our competitors to compete by taking sufficient caution, and with patience!

There are some narrow sections on the running track, for this reason we start the runners on the given races separately and at intervals.

We will measure the times of competitors by using microchip transponder technology. We attach the microchip to the race number, no deposit is required to be placed for it.

We will set up 3 refreshment stations at the 7 K running course.

Prizes: the absolute and age group category winners will receive special medals and certificates.

Locker rooms: we provide safe luggage storage and changing room in the tents set up in front of the start area.

Mobile toilets: they are provided for the entrants set up in the start zone.

First aid: during the race a professional first aider is on alert ready to engage. Every participant is obliged to take particular care of his/her own and the others’ good health, and if the situation requires it, to provide help to his/her sports-mates who may suffer an accident.

Responsibility: the organisers are not responsible for any accident, or damage suffered as a result of the health state, unpreparedness, carelessness, thoughtlessness of the competitor.

Copyrights: during the competition we take photographs and audio-visual recordings of the participants. These are considered as copyrighted materials owned by the organisers, who are free to use their content.
