On Saturday morning, there will be an optional team run at a gentle pace before a trip to the marathon expo centre where the excitement will really start to kick in. Here, you will have an opportunity to pick up any last minute supplies for your race (energy gels, running accessories etc.) and spot your name on the international participants board. You will then have a free afternoon to explore Budapest. In the evening, the team will meet for a pre race carbo-loading meal in preparation for the 42.195kms ahead. This is a great opportunity to mix with your fellow runners and exchange top tips and training stories. A pre marathon briefing will also be given to ensure that you are fully prepared and able to ask any last minute questions. Multi-shared rooms accommodation. Breakfast, lunch and dinner included.
