For the fifth time, students, alumni, and faculty from the Department of Economics at CEU took on one of Hungary’s toughest endurance challenges: UltraBalaton, a 211-kilometer relay race around Lake Balaton. Held on April 26–27, this year’s race was not only a test of stamina and teamwork—but a record-breaking one.
The CEU Economics team completed the loop around Hungary’s largest lake in 18 hours and 50 minutes, setting a new
personal best and finishing 186th out of 1744 teams.
