Running circle

On Margaret Island, one tram stop from the bustling city, is the most famous running circuit, named after the legendary orienteer Sarolta Monspart in 2021. The circuit is 5.32 km long, with a 2m elevation change. From dawn until late in the evening, the track is taken over by enthusiastic runners.

Access: come by foot or by bike or scooter. If you come by car, you can drive onto the island from the Árpád Bridge, where you can park your car in a pay car park.
