Cons
–
Tiszaújváros isn't well-known to foreign visitors like Budapest or Lake Balaton, so it feels off-the-beaten-path and might require extra planning
–
Triathlon festivals aren't super famous internationally compared to iconic U.S. events like the Boston Marathon or Coachella multisport fests
–
Smaller scale than blockbuster American triathlons, so expect local energy over global superstar athletes and hype
