A sporting highlight is taking place in Klagenfurt on Thursday. Even the buses will be rerouted for the running event.

Once the children and schoolchildren have completed their running program and received their well-deserved prizes, the main competitions over five and ten kilometers start. Two or four laps are then run through Klagenfurt's old town. Every year, the Klagenfurt Old Town Run attracts thousands of running enthusiasts of all ages.

The children's events over 200, 550 and 1100 meters are particularly popular and are already fully booked. There were only ten starting places left for the school run (1650 meters) on Tuesday and 140 starting places for the main competition for late registration on Thursday.

Buses will be rerouted
Because the children's events are taking place at Neuer Platz, only Wiesbadener Straße will be closed to traffic from 4.45 pm, then from 6.15 pm for the main event, then Heuplatz and 8.-Mai-Straße. Buses will be diverted via the Ring.

Shortly before the finish, the supporting program will start on Neuer Platz at 8.40 pm. The draw for the main prizes - all participants will receive a raffle ticket - will take place at 9.40 pm.
