Year after year, Tour de Hongrie offers a real challenge to competitors, and many unforgettable memories to the entire cyclist community. All along the route, there are plenty of opportunities for fans to cheer on the cyclists and keep up to date on the latest developments while the competitors ride through picturesque landscape and start and finish towns.
As always, Lake Balaton provides an unparalleled backdrop for the competition. The final stage starts in Siófok, so if you are an avid sports fan there is no reason not to cheer on your favourites while enjoying a pleasant break by Lake Balaton. There are also plenty of excellent auxiliary events to attend in Siófok.
If you want to get even more involved in one of the most prominent cycling events of the year, you can do so by volunteering. The entire town is at full steam preparing for the stage start from Siófok, and applications for prospective volunteers are now open until 30 April 2024.
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.
