One lake. One lap. An unforgettable running experience! On September 27, the Wörthersee Marathon will make its debut—and is already generating excitement even before the starting gun goes off. More than 4,200 runners from 30 countries have secured their spots, and the event is already completely sold out. But with the “Krone,” you still have the chance to be there in person!

Not even the organizers had anticipated such a huge rush. Due to the enormous demand, the participant quota even had to be increased—yet all starting spots were snapped up in no time. Particularly noteworthy: Not only are the “The Wild Beauty – 21K” half marathon and the popular team competition enjoying great popularity, but the classic marathon over 42.195 kilometers is also experiencing a veritable boom at its premiere.

Once Around Lake Wörthersee
What sets the Wörthersee Marathon apart from many other events is its unique course design. Instead of running the same sections multiple times, the course takes participants all the way around Lake Wörthersee. Every kilometer offers new sights: crystal-clear, turquoise-blue water; picturesque towns like Velden, Pörtschach, and Maria Wörth; and a landscape that ranks among the most beautiful in Austria.

The gently rolling course provides the perfect blend of athletic challenge and pure running enjoyment. It is precisely this combination that makes the event so appealing and is already captivating runners from all over Europe. Many participants are convinced: The Wörthersee Marathon has the potential to soon establish itself as a true classic on the international running calendar.
