The Hungarian 35km Race Walking Championships was held in Budapest, around the renovated Puskás Ferenc Stadium. It was also an open event for foreign athletes with some other walking event (20km, 10km, 5km). Athletes joined from Croatia and Slovakia.

The paving stone surface was not ideal for the walkers, also the circle caused some difficulties. The race started in 12 Celsius, it went up to 23 Celsius at the end. The condition was also windy in the second half of the race.
