The Barátság Maraton (Friendship Marathon) is held annually in autumn in Miskolc, a city of about 150,000 people in the north-eastern part of Hungary.

The event features races for all ages and levels of runners:

  • 600m-1.8km Gyermekfutamok (kids' races)
  • 5.27 Minimaraton
  • 10.5km Kismaraton (little marathon)
  • 21.1km Félmaraton (half marathon)
  • 4x5.27km Félmaraton váltó (half marathon relay for teams of four runners)
  • 42.2km Maraton (marathon)

Starting at the Körcsarnok sports hall in the green and leafy Egyetemváros (University Town), the 5.27km-long route takes the runners around the university campus and out and back along a quiet road towards the spa of Miskolctapolca, a popular tourist destination for its Cave Bath (pictured).

The course is gently undulating. The difference between the lowest and the highest point on the course is 24 metres.
