Wörthersee Marathon

About this event

The Wörthersee Marathon takes runners on a challenging loop around one of Austria's most striking alpine lakes. Starting from the Klagenfurt lido, the marathon route circles the crystal-clear waters of Lake Wörthersee, mixing rolling hills along the southern shore with faster, flatter stretches. Half-marathon runners follow the scenic lakeside road to Velden, finishing at the historic Schlosshotel. The course offers varied terrain that rewards both strength and speed, with mountain views reflected in the lake's turquoise water. Strong crowd support and well-stocked aid stations keep spirits high, while the post-race Runner's Beach Club provides a fitting celebration spot. As a World Athletics calendar event, it attracts serious runners looking to race against a stunning backdrop.
