Outstanding interest is building ahead of Hungary’s only women-only running event, the 30th ALDI Women’s Running Gala. According to the latest data from Budapest Sport Office (BSI), more than 7,600 participants have already registered—far surpassing last year’s total of 4,760. Early indicators suggest that the largest women’s running celebration of recent years is shaping up for Sunday, June 1st, in Népliget, with several race categories close to reaching registration limits.

Online registration for the 30th ALDI Women’s Running Gala closes at midnight on Thursday; after that, only on-site registration will be available for this women’s running festival held in Népliget.

Spots are filling fast: among the most popular categories, 97% of the individual 10 km race slots are already taken, while the 10 km pairs (82%) and 5 km (81%) races are similarly nearing capacity. In the shorter, so-called festival distances—such as the 2.5 km run and walk, the 3×2 km relay, or the 1000-meter Family Run—nearly three-quarters of the available spots have already been claimed.

The enthusiasm with which runners are embracing the 30th anniversary of the ALDI Women’s Running Gala is truly impressive. Surpassing 7,600 registrations has exceeded all our expectations, clearly showing the extraordinary commitment of women to running. This event is truly a one-of-a-kind celebration for them. This year’s milestone edition holds special significance, symbolized by a unique finisher medal that can be worn as jewelry. We are working intensively to ensure that Népliget provides a worthy venue for the largest women’s running celebration of recent years, said Árpád Kocsis, Managing Director of BSI.

The 30th ALDI Women’s Running Gala is more than a race—it’s a community event with a thirty-year tradition, celebrating female athletic achievement, healthy living, and the power of togetherness. Its supportive atmosphere and diverse range of race distances ensure that every participant can find the challenge that suits her best.

For ALDI, the Women’s Running Gala has always been more than just a sports event—it is a true community celebration that brings the joy of movement, healthy lifestyles, and shared experiences to all of us. We are proud to have supported this special event since 2014 and to have served as its title sponsor since 2018. Since then, we have welcomed more than 40,000 participants at the Women’s Running Galas, and we are especially pleased that more than 7,600 people have already signed up for the 30th anniversary edition—surpassing all prior expectations, said Erhard Stotz, Marketing and Communications Director of ALDI Hungary.
The event is also hugely popular among ALDI staff: this year, registrations among our employees have increased by 35% compared to last year, meaning nearly 200 of our colleagues will take part in the celebration of movement, he added.
