8th Revolutionary Run
Event details
On October 23, Veszprém will host a special event: we will gather for a commemorative running race to honor the heroes of the 1956 Revolution. The purpose of the race is not only to promote sports, but also to preserve our shared history and Árpád Brusznyai. The event holds special significance, as it brings together not only the city’s residents but all participants through the power of shared memory and solidarity, and the artists of Petőfi Theater help shed light on the events of 70 years ago with a short festive performance at the competition venue, before the announcement of the results.
This event is not only a physical challenge but also an opportunity to honor our heroes and carry on the spirit of ’56.
This year, we won’t be running on the city course; instead, we’ll explore the fall running terrain of the Rab Mária Trail.
