Pilis Trail Night Edition 2026
The Pilis Trail Night Edition is an evening trail running event organized by the Pilisi Terepfutók Baráti Köre, a group that has run Pilis area events since 2013 and grew to about 2700 followers. The 2026 edition is scheduled for October 31 at Dobogókő and follows forested and rocky terrain in the Pilis mountains under headlamp conditions.
The event offers two course options with marked points along each route. Shorter and longer route details:
- Kis Halál: ~9 km, ~380 m elevation gain, medium difficulty.
- Nagy Halál: ~17 km, ~650 m elevation gain, hard difficulty.
Both routes start and finish at Eötvös Loránd Menedékház / Dobogókő and pass several named local landmarks, including Zsivány-sziklák, Ilacsek halála, Döme halála; the longer route continues via Vaskapu-völgy, Simon halála, Enyedi halála and Pilisszentlélek before returning to Dobogókő. Organizers provide estimated completion times for guidance: about 1.5–2.5 hours for the shorter course and about 3–5 hours for the longer course. GPS tracks are noted as forthcoming. Entry capacity is limited and there is a registration deadline of October 15, 2026. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
