1800 enthusiastic runners of all ages met on Thursday for the traditional annual Old Town Run in the provincial capital. For the first time, a walking competition was also on the program this year. 

Best weather conditions with cooler temperatures than last year and record participation in the traditional old town run in Klagenfurt. 1300 participants took part in the general class, plus over 500 bambinis, children and young people who ran - or "walked" - through Carinthia's provincial capital: For the first time, the 42nd edition of the Old Town Run even included an Olympic walking competition

Franz Kropik also took part - the six-time European champion and seven-time world champion in the masters class completed the 2.5-kilometer course. Professional walkers like Kropik reach speeds of up to 11 km/h, making them much faster than the slower runners. By way of comparison: normally you march along at around five kilometers per hour. A total of 20 elite walkers plowed through Klagenfurt's old town at a rapid pace on Thursday evening.
