Kärnten Läuft: Frauen-, Familien-, Kinder & Hundelauf 2026

Kärnten Läuft takes place over a weekend in late August in Klagenfurt am Wörthersee, located in the Austrian state of Carinthia, with Lake Wörthersee providing the backdrop. This portion of the schedule is designed for participants who might prefer not to run the main half marathon. Included are women’s races and walks, a family run, children’s races, a dog run, a mascot run, and a Bambini sprint, all offered alongside the longer race distances. The broader event also features the Wörthersee Half Marathon, quarter marathon, walk, night run, and Nordic Ladies Walk. The participants vary from dedicated runners employing pacemakers to families, children, walkers, and individuals running with dogs. Race day amenities consist of RFID timing on the bib, bag transport, shuttle services, aid stations, showers, medal engraving, and a Sport EXPO. These offerings contribute to the weekend feeling more like a running holiday rather than a standalone event.
