How It All Began

Last summer, while training for my first half marathon, I had plenty of time for thinking. This is when the idea came:
Let there be a regular event for runners in Budapest, which is free, fun and extreme (to a certain extent). Playing around with Google's Pedometer I found, that the track of the (kind of landmark) tram line 6 is a pleasant 8,6 km long end to end. It is mostly flat. Good.
Checking tram schedules, making up safety rules, asking friends' opinion took no time.
After a short intermission of political demonstrations (and barricades, street fighting and other delicacies) in September and October, November finally brought the test run.
Which turned out to be immense fun.
So I started to sow the seeds of 6E Midnight Run in runner forums, the Critical Mass community, blogs, etc.
The rest is kind of history.
