Debrecen (Hungary), October 2016 - March 2017
Held annually on six Saturdays between October and March, the Oxigén Kupa race series is one of the most popular running events in eastern Hungary.
Each race attracts around 500 to 700 runners.
The event offers children's races (1.5km, 2.5km), a 5km race (two laps) and a 10km race (four laps), held on the gently-undulating trails of the protected Nagyerdő (Great Forest) which spreads to the north of Debrecen, Hungary's second-largest city with a population of over 200,000 people.
The event does not charge any entry fees. You just need to pay a small one-time fee for the bib chip, which you can then use in all events of the series.
