The 5.6km Night Run in Hungary's capital city Budapest is one the many popular running events masterminded by the Budapest Marathon Organization.

Over 4,000 runners took part in the event last year. The winners were Feyissa Mossissa of Ethiopia (18:59) and Barbara Molnár of Hungary (21:57).

The event features lots of music, dance, fun, and a firework display before the start at 9pm. Watch the video provided by the race organizers to get an impression of the atmosphere!

The start and the finish are on the spacious square at the eastern end of the monumental Chain Bridge, which spans the River Danube. Participants run across the bridge, through the tunnel under Castle Hill, along the Danube, and past many beautifully illuminated landmarks of Budapest.
