Balatonkör Sports Association
Introduction
Balatonkör Sports Association grew out of the first Balaton cycling race, which started in 2000, originally initiated by Green Heart Nature Conservation Movement. Since 2003, the organization has been taken over by an enthusiastic group of private individuals who have built a community around the tours that has grown year after year. Today, the association brings together one of the most significant cycling communities in the Balaton region, with several thousand participants and more than two decades of organizational experience.
