The Národný beh Devín-Bratislava (National Run Devin-Bratislava) usually attracts a crowd of more than 5,000 runners, which makes it the biggest single road running race in Slovakia.
The route is 11.5km long and undulating, starting at Hrad Devín (pictured above), a ruined castle that sits spectacularly on a steep rock high above the confluence of two rivers, the Morava and the Danube. Situated on the border with Austria, Devin Castle is a truly impressive sight. It played a prominent role in the history of Slovakia, and it is regarded by many as a symbol of Slovak nationhood.
The finish line is on the left bank of the Danube in the city centre of Bratislava (pictured below).
Before the race, participants can use the free bus service from Bratislava to the start area at Devin Castle.
The event also offers a 2.8km run for young athletes and recreational runners.
