EMU - Egyesület a Magyar Ultrafutásért

The EMU (Association for Hungarian Ultra Running) was established in Pécs in 2000 by a group of Hungarian ultra runners. It is the intention of the aforementioned parties to utilise their extensive experience and knowledge, which has amassed over a period of more than 20 years, for the purpose of organising a World Cup tournament that will be remembered as an unforgettable experience by all competitors.

The primary objective of EMU is the promotion of ultra-marathon running and the facilitation of exercise and a healthy lifestyle through running, which is the most affordable form of sport for all.

The EMU is responsible for the organisation of a number of events of significant renown, including the EMU 6 Day Race, a multi-day ultra-running competition of international recognition. The organisation also provides support to domestic ultra-runners, coaches, volunteers, and sports enthusiasts in areas such as competition preparation, event organisation, and community building.
