The Barátság Maraton (Friendship Marathon) is held annually in autumn in Miskolc, a city of about 140,000 people in the north-eastern part of Hungary.

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

  • 600m and 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)

The start/finish area and the route have changed several times over the last years.

In 2025, the route will be a flat 5.27km loop through the city centre and around the nearby Népkert (People's Garden) park. Marathon runners will run eight laps of this course.

The start and the finish will be at Szent István tér (Saint Stephen Square; pictured above) in the historic centre.
