Torch run for the 2024 Budapest Olympics

Szeretlekmagyarorszag.hu writes that a torch run is organized in the heart of Budapest in order to support the idea of hosting the Olympic Games in Hungary, in 2024. The first 3000 people to register will be able to run the 2024m lap of honour.

An extraordinary sporting event is held on June 22: in honour of the Olympic Day a torch run is organized at the coast of the Danube on the Pest side. The event is going to happen in the evening, when it is all lighted up. Resembling a festival, music and sporting events will entertain the visitors at the same time, yet, the main spectacle will be reminding everyone about Budapest being a candidate city for hosting the 2024 Summer Olympics.

That will be nothing other than a torch run of 2024 metres in the heart of the capital at 9:30 pm, June 22. The organizers prepare modern torches, that is, lightning rods, bracelets and other bright things. The shining set will start off at the Margaret Bridge on the Pest side and their route will include the gorgeously lighted Parliament, the Chain Bridge, the Buda Castle and the Liberty Statue, to make sure everyone gets stunned by the end of the run.

The participants of the night run will all receive a medal and may recall the memorable moments of the event together. Importantly, registration for the run is free of charge, and the first 3000 people to successfully register will have the opportunity to take on their running shoes and fulfill the Budapest 2024 lap of honour to celebrate the Olympic Games.
