What a great project! The organisers of the Brasov Running Festival had the intention of setting all the conditions for a possible world record. They succeeded! On an internationally homologated track Kenyan athlete Agnes Ngetich set a new world record on 5 and 10 kilometres. She won the 10K race in 29 minutes and 24 seconds. Of course, amateurs and children had their races too, it was an outstanding event, well organised, but the highlight was for sure the world record. Even the International Olympic Committee wrote about Brasov last Sunday which is great news for all the Transylvanians! For us Brasov is a beloved city, a place we love to visit when we have the opportunity to do so. I was so delighted that I had the chance to work as a multilingual presenter at this event! Congratulations to all the people involved!

Held for the 11th time, BUD Runway Run had a number of over 1000 participants this year. A joyful run on the airport of Budapest with a lot of fun and great performances. There were two distances for the adults: 5 and 10 km. Children had their races too. The atmosphere was superb as the organizers invited three Olympic champions to hand over the prizes at the final ceremony: Tamas Darnyi, Sandor Wladar, Eva Risztov, respectively European champion Richard Marton came to join this great event (they are all swimmers). It was all about charity, two foundations received all the registration fees of the competition.

Even if it's hard to believe, there are about 20 000 people who participate in the competition called Ultrabalaton each year. Now I had the pleasure to present the start of the relays consisting of 5-13 runners. It's crazy I know but believe me, from 3 AM to 6 PM there were starts given in every minute. It was a hard task for me as well, but the atmosphere was great and it helped a lot! The Ultrabalaton is a running race with a total distance of 210 km around the largest lake of Hungary.

The 11th edition of Cluj-Napoca Marathon was one of the higlights of this season. Thousands of children and adults crossed the finish line with a lot of joy on their faces. I was glad to welcome them after their great performance.

It sound unbelievable but it's true. From 4 AM till 6 PM on Saturday more than 17 thousand people took the start at the largest mass event of Hungary, called UltraBalaton. The participants are aiming to complete a 211 km long track around Lake Balaton. I was happy to see hundreds of teams - even ski instructors were among them - having a great goal: reaching the finish line.

Presenting a marathon is like running a marathon. But it's more fun! You see many satisfied faces after 42 km. That's what I felt last weekend in Cluj as I presented the 8th edition of the marathon in the famous Cluj Arena. It was great, just like everytime before. More than 7000 people participated in the event.

It was the first ever international marathon held in the city of Brasov (Romania) last Sunday. Over 1000 runners started from the square situated next to the famous Black Church, being prepared to complete the distance of over 42 km. It was an enjoyable race, even if the weather was possibly the biggest opponent of the participants. In over 30 degrees, people had to run continuously. They succeeded, showing that sport brings joy and satisfaction! It was the same to me, I was honored to be the multilingual presenter of the Transylvanian sport event.

It doesn't happen too often, but the central streets of Bucharest were closed on Sunday. The only reason was the 4th edition of the OMV Petrom Bucharest Half Marathon, where 10.000 runners participated in a major event. It was the Kenyan athlete Peter Emase who won the 21 km race. The amateur runners had the opportunity to choose from 4 different distances: 3.5 km, 10.5 km, 21 km individual or relay. It was an enjoyable competition with some interesting exhibitions, entertainment and a concert which closed the event in the afternoon. Congratulations to all the finishers!

It was a sunny but a quite windy race day in Cluj-Napoca (Romania) as thousands of participants took part in the largest marathon competition of Transylvania. A number of 3.500 runners joined the race on different distances. The demanding course began in the impressive Cluj Arena stadium and ended there after many kilometres completed on the streets of Cluj. People enjoyed the great atmosphere and the large variety of entertaining programs in the city. It was an honor to me to apply multilingual commentary at the marathon held last Sunday.
