The Justizlauf rund um den Hafnersee is a small charity run in Carinthia, Austria, starting at Camping Hafnersee. Held in late September, it circles the lake, offering a 9 km race, a 4.5 km option, Nordic walking, and a 300 m children’s race. Organized by the Carinthian section of the Association of Judges, this event is now in its twentieth edition.
The entry model is distinctive: Carinthian judges and court officials forgo standard entry fees, requesting donations to Kärntner in Not, a local aid organization. The start is in the early afternoon, with same-day entries accepted until late morning. Kärnten läuft, the larger regional running event, provides starter packages, positioning this as a relaxed follow-up for those with remaining running energy after the main event.
