The Tour de Hongrie

 

The Tour de Hongrie is a prestigious Hungarian cycling competition with a proud and long history. Over the course of five stages, it covers around 854 kilometres, with an elevation differential of 8,000 metres, 10 graded inclines, two classic sprinters’ stages as well as two iconic mountain stage finishes to delight participants.

This year will mark the 45th time the Hungarian Bicycle Circuit Race, widely known as the Tour de Hongrie, will be held. The current racing line-up includes 120 competitors representing 20 teams.

The cyclists will cross 81 towns and villages, nine of which are designated start or finish points. The route also includes 12 sprint stages.

Siófok is far from being new to the race, as 2024 will be the 19th year that the pack will cross the town.

Our sunny town of Siófok, situated by Lake Balaton, will host the fifth, i.e. the final stage start.

The cyclists will set off at 12:10pm on 12 May 2024 from Fő Square, which will also be hosting a range of auxiliary events and a true festival of cycling.
