"4 days of RUNNING - 4 days of FRIENDSHIP - 4 days of PARTY - 4 days of WONDER"

Every year, a large field gathers early in the spring along the shores of Lake Balaton. We start our journey from Siófok, and over the course of the four-day lake-circling running event, we will cover 196 km, finishing back at the starting point on Sunday afternoon. The BSZM traditionally offers a variety of distances every year. The four-day lake-circling race can be completed individually, in pairs, or in teams, and besides the multi-day ultra distances, participants can also join the event for a single day.

2-day (individual, pairs, and 3-person teams)

Half-Balaton Supermarathon

Participants in the Half-Balaton Supermarathon join the BSZM field over the weekend, meaning you won’t even need to take a day off from the office. Run individually or organize a team, and we promise you’ll have a great time covering 94.8 kilometers over 2 days. Since you can split the daily stages as you like, a three-person relay team can complete the distance with even just 15-20 kilometers of running per day.

maraton+

Attention, here’s our program suggestion: Join the field of runners circling Lake Balaton for a day. After all, there's life beyond the marathon. Test yourself and dip your toes into ultrarunning with the Marathon+ category. As an individual, you can complete the entire distance for the day, while pairs can divide the stages as they wish, though transitions can only occur at designated exchange points. Of course, you can also take on the challenge in a trio or a 5-8 person team, where you can also divide the stages as you like.

SPRING CHALLENGE

Maratonfüred (42,2 km)

The true spring challenge has arrived! If you’re not quite ready to tackle the classic marathon distance, we think you’ve found the best option in the BSZM lineup. Kick off the running season with a spring marathon along the shores of Lake Balaton. You’ll likely be running in perfect conditions as you cover the kilometers, with the route tracing the lake’s edge, allowing you to marvel at the lake’s awakening from its winter slumber. We wouldn’t hesitate if we were you.

BSZM Finisher 15 km

Run to the finish line on the 4th day from Balatonakarattya to Siófok! We invite you to the 15-kilometer BSZM Finisher distance, which debuted in 2024. Why? Because we wanted as many people as possible to experience the life-changing BSZM journey within the framework of a truly achievable distance. If you find the half marathon too far but can handle a 10-kilometer run with ease, then... you get it, right? Come and join us for the 15 km BSZM Finisher! 

TAKE A SNEAK PEEK AT THE PREVIEW

Lake Balaton is a wonder. And running around it is even more magical...

Waves, smiles, hugs, walks, cramps, self-doubt, confidence, injuries, enthusiastic supporters, honking team cars, abandoned water stations, and plodding bike escorts. Powerful, confident gazes, broad smiles beside endless reeds, joy in the golden finish line. In one word: BSZM. Are you a runner eyeing longer distances (even ultrarunning)? Then you’re in the right place! This year, you can test yourself at the Balaton Supermarathon, a running event with a 15-year history! Four days of running around the picturesque Balaton, where not only the distance but also unforgettable experiences await. Overcome your limits, meet new friends, and enjoy the Balaton vibe! Will you be our next hero?

Without whose help it wouldn’t be possible
