The 12 Laps of Christmas with the Mocktail Mile, Sunday 14 December in the Athletic Center of Margit Island with coach Connor
The Mocktail Mile is passionate about bringing people together through music, running, and healthy living. We are delighted to invite you to join us for our festive event — “The 12 Laps of Christmas”, a Christmas-themed run supporting the local charity Budapest Bike Mafia.
Join us for a family-friendly celebration with Christmas music, good vibes, and a Christmas-jumper contest.
After the run, we will meet in a nearby Café and provide delicious alcohol-free mulled wine, to help everyone warm up.
We will close the celebration with prizes for the best Christmas jumper, Santa hat, or festive outfit. If you have something playful and Christmassy in your closet, bring it along!
WHY?
In Ireland and the UK, it’s a holiday tradition to celebrate with “The 12 Pubs of Christmas.” However, this usually ends with a tough next morning.
We want to flip the script — instead of 12 pubs, we’ll take on 12 laps of the track!
FOR WHOM?
The event welcomes all ages and all fitness levels — whether you’re running, walking, or cheering from the sidelines, you’ll be part of the fun.
If you don’t feel confident completing the full 12 laps (just under 5 km), don’t worry — we have scaled options to suit everyone. What matters most is showing up, sharing your energy, and celebrating the season together.
THE PROGRAM
10:30 We suggest arriving by 10:30 — you may arrive later, but please be there before 11:00.
11:00 We start warm up and run with coach Connor.
12:00 Showers and restrooms are available if needed.
12:15-12:30 We gather our things and walk to Montage Café, right across the bridge on the Buda side.
WHAT IS INCLUDED?
We’ll collect voluntary donations supporting Budapest Bike Mafia, a local organisation helping homeless and vulnerable communities with food, clothing, and essential assistance.
