  This half marathon runs through the Balaton Uplands National Park on forest roads and marked tourist trails, with climbs over three volcanic witness hills above Lake Balaton. The route demands solid trail fitness because the organisers list substantial ascent and a strict time limit, and a short section remains open to normal road traffic. It is part of a charity trail event based in Badacsonytomaj, with the Hableány venue serving as both start and finish.
