Debrecen (Hungary), October 2014 - March 2015

The annual Oxigén Kupa race series is one of the most popular running events in eastern Hungary. Held on six Saturdays between October and March, each event attracts around 500 to 700 runners of all ages and abilities.

The event offers a 5km race (two laps) and a 10km race (four laps). Juniors run 2.5km, and children run 1.5km.

All races are held on the trails of the protected Great Forest (Nagyerdő) which spreads to the north of Debrecen, Hungary's second-largest city with a population of over 200,000 people.

The event does not charge any entry fees, and everybody is very welcome.
