Hungary’s flagship trail festival: fast forest trails, rolling climbs, and a polished Central Europe weekend.
UTH Salomon Ultra-Trail Hungary 84km traces 84 kilometres through the Pilis Hills north of Budapest with 3,186m of officially confirmed D+ -- an exact match between the published figure and GPX analysis. At 38m of D+ per kilometre the course ranks 217th most vertical out of 390 European ultras, sitting solidly in the middle of the database: this is sustained rolling forest terrain rather than dramatic alpine climbing. The biggest single descent drops 420m at an average gradient of -4.86%; the biggest climb rises 446m. What defines the race is accumulated fatigue over 84km of continuous forest trail -- including at least one night segment -- not any single dramatic moment. Entry for 2026 was 145 euros (1.73 euros per km) via tiered pricing that rose through approximately four price points from around 98 euros to 145 euros. The 2026 edition sold out with medium sell-out intensity; registration is now closed. The race has exceptional access: Budapest airport (BUD) is 44 minutes away and suburban rail serves the start area directly. Budapest offers abundant accommodation at all price points. First held in 2018 and DUV-listed, UTH runs alongside 42km, 54km, and 111km distances as Hungary's flagship trail festival.
