We need you too!
On March 21, the inner city of Veszprém will become a huge community movement where we will make history together in a single day. Challenge Day is a highlight of the Veszprém-Balaton European Sports Region 2026 program series. On that day, we will attempt to break four Guinness World Records! This is a challenge that will require the simultaneous movement of hundreds, even thousands, of participants.

Every single person counts!
Every movement brings us closer to the record. Challenge Day is not about competition, but about working together. It's about the experience of a city moving together toward a common goal:
- for public records
- for the joy of movement
- the power of community
- memorable moments
What can you do in the meantime?
- Call your friends and family members
- Prepare for a day in which you will also be an active participant
On the day of the event, the health caravan of the National Center for Public Health and Pharmacology will once again be deployed to the city, and they will be found in the tent on Óváros Square from 10 a.m.. Click here for details.
