Hungary’s flagship trail festival: fast forest trails, rolling climbs, and a polished Central Europe weekend.
The Salomon Szentendre Trail 54K loops through the Pilis Hills north of Budapest, starting and finishing in Szentendre — Hungary's most-visited day-trip destination and home to medieval Serbian Orthodox churches, cobblestone streets, and a main square where tourists applaud finishers crossing the Danube promenade. The course crosses the Apátkúti stream twelve times and passes Visegrád castle — a medieval royal stronghold — at the midpoint before climbing to the Kálvária and looping back. With 1,830m of D+ over 54km (33.9 m/km), rankings sit solidly mid-database: 218th most vertical out of 390 European ultras. The biggest single descent drops 244m at -13.23% gradient; the biggest climb rises 250m. There is no headlamp requirement — this is an entirely daylight race, starting at 09:00 on 24 May 2026 with a firm 10-hour cutoff. Budapest Ferenc Liszt Airport (BUD) is 44 minutes away; suburban rail reaches Szentendre directly. Entry ran €95 to €125 across four tiers (2.31 €/km); registration for 2026 is now closed (race completed May 24, 2026). Part of Hungary's flagship trail festival, running since 2015.
