Well taken care of

For many runners, one of the most beautiful sections of the approximately 21-kilometre-long course is the eastern shore of Lake Hallstatt. Along the entire route from Hallstatt via Obertraun and Bad Goisern back to the World Heritage site, numerous eager helpers are waiting for the challengers with refreshments in various so-called refreshment stations.

Marketplace celebrates the fastest

Here, everyone comes together once again for cool drinks and traditional delicacies. In addition, there are attractive prices, provided by domestic commercial enterprises. And if the weather doesn't play along that day, the running circus simply moves to the nearby cultural center.
