Race director Csanya and the CREW welcomes you to UTH 2016!

This year Terepfutás.hu organizes the second edition of Salomon UltraTrail Hungary® in the dense and dark forest of the Pilis (mountains) on 14-15. May. As the director of the event, I warmly welcome the 660 runners representing 21 nations toeing the line.

We’re proud to host a race boasting such an international field. We are aware of the fact that there is more to a successful race than just a beautiful route: there’s no successful race without a good team. Our team, the CREW is the key to success, with ten years of experience.

Szentendre, the city that hosts the race center and the finish is one of the prettiest small towns in the country. Come and see for yourself.

Salomon Ultra-Trail® Hungary 115 and 55 kilometer events are awaiting fans of ultrarunning.

Those interested in shorter races are now able to test themselves on the 33km long Salomon Visegrád Trail for the first time, which offers a unique start from Salamontower in Visegrád. All three routes are rich in tough uphills, quadripping downhills and parts providing lovely view of the landscape.

Fans of urban running can discover the secrets f the city on Salomon City-Run Szentendre. This 5km event resembles orinteering, which means, runners may choose their own route to find all 5 checkpoints.

We haven’t forgotten about the young, either! Salomon Kids-Trail Szentendre starting from Postás-bath is for the kids. A race where everyone is a winner!

The race is a qualifier event for UTMB . The 115K is worth 5 ITRA points, the 33K 3 points, while finishing Visegrád Trail will get you 2 points.

I sincerely hope you will have a great time and return to run with us again next year!

CSANYA

Safety first As organizers of the event we are responsible for you. We are doing our best, but there are things you need to take responsibility for.

What we do for your safety: At road crossings, volunteers and police will assist runners to safely cross the road.

Staff at aid stations will be of help in everything. Don’t hesitate to ask for help whatever issues you might have.

The race is in the middle of May, but spring weather might surprise us. We have experienced temperatures as low as 5 degrees C and as high as 30 degrees in the past, so never underestimate the mountain!

Along the route at night, reflective tapes will help your way.

During the race an ambulance and an emergency tent at the finish area will provide care if needed.

Even the best runners aren’t immune to accidents. Night running, difficult terrain and the long distance make accidents more likely to happen. We cannot emphasize enough, that Salomon Ultra-Trail® Hungary is not just an ordinary race!

To reduce the risks of accidents, please bear in mind: • The Pilis is not like the city, you cannot just hop on the subway if you have run out of energy....if you feel exhausted, don’t hesitate to take a rest at the next aid-station. After a few minute rest and something to eat you can continue more safely.

• Always choose your outfit considering the weather. Change clothes before you get too cold/hot.

• In case you realize you haven’t seen marking tapes for several hundred meters, you have probably wandered off path. Turn around and go back to the last route mark.

• Never leave the marked trails!

• Always carry the required gear.

• If you have trekking poles, be careful while using them, especially during the first part of the race when the field is packed.

• Don’t forget, every runner is responsible for providing help for those in need.

What to do if you get into trouble?

Do not hesitate to contact us if you’re in trouble, call the official phone number of the race +36-30-623-32-59 (printed on the bib). Then do follow the received instructions. If you are able to walk, proceed to the agreed place and we will pick you up there. In case you’re injured and cannot walk, put on all your clothes and wait there; we will get to you as soon as possible.

TIMING Timing is carried out via CHECKPOINT SYSTEM. The deposit for the personal chip is 5000 HUF, which should be paid (deposited) at packet pickup at the race center.
