Traunsee Half Marathon attracts with unique panorama
On the "longest" Saturday of the year, 18 June, thousands of running enthusiasts and spectators will once again be welcomed to Lake Traunsee to run into the sunset against an impressive backdrop. At the fourth edition of the Traunsee Half Marathon, however, not only the runners of the half marathon distance will enjoy the idyllic panorama at Lake Traunsee. A total of 4 different events can be completed over 3 distances. The Hervis Half Marathon is and remains the supreme discipline of the event. 21.0975 km have to be covered from Ebensee to the town hall square in Gmunden. Already about 600 runners from more than ten different nations have registered for the competition. With a winning time of 1:14:32, the German Michael Sassnink was crowned champion last year. But for most of the participants it is not about winning, but rather about enjoying the great panorama at Lake Traunsee and finishing the half marathon as a "sun finisher" and thus before sunset. The start on the "longest Saturday of the year" is traditionally at 19:08.

OÖNachrichten Junior-Run new in the programme
After two new runs were launched last year with the Bridgestone Genuss-Lauf (11.5km) and the Traunsee Sun-Run (4km), the programme will be expanded again this year. In cooperation with the OÖNachrichten, the OÖN Junior-Run was created. The purpose of the new competition is to reach children and young people between the ages of 12 and 16 and to give them the chance to compete among their peers. The OÖN Junior-Run will cover a distance of 4 kilometres. The entry fee, which is 15€, will be donated 100% to a charitable cause. As with the Traunsee Sun-Run, the start will be in Altmünster. The start of the Bridgestone Genuss-Lauf will be in Traunkirchen. The starting signal for all four events will sound at 19:08.
