Furmint as refreshment

Mád, the gem of Tokaj, the tiny village with superstars like Szepsy, is often written without the accent – because there is a good portion of madness in the minds… Just look at this running contest: the program includes a party the night before, so that runners could start with a decent hangover. Then, during the contest, gourmet finger food and stunning Mád wines await participants at the “refreshing stations”, to make it hard for them to get to the goal.The second edition awaits participants!

How to get to Mád: By car it takes about 2.5 hours via M3 motorway. By train: take an InterCity train to Szerencs, change there, altogether it takes 3.5 hours.
