The Welser Sparkasse O"O" City Night Run begins at 8:30 PM outside the Stadthalle in Wels, Austria. This is a short urban night race, approximately 5.2 kilometers on asphalt through the city center. The format is straightforward: runners will complete a 2.6 km loop twice, serving as a fast effort for experienced participants and an accessible evening race for those seeking a lively city event over a long-distance competition.
The course departs from the Stadthalle, proceeds through the Welser Volksgarten to the Traun river, follows the river toward Adlerstrasse, and then returns past Burggarten Wels and Stadtplatz Wels towards Ringstrasse. The nighttime setting contributes to the enjoyment: participants are encouraged to wear creative illuminated outfits, with a Best Glow Award presented for the most distinctive attire. Bib collection, the awards ceremony, and the post-race 90s party featuring DJ Franz Joseph are all held at the Stadthalle, consolidating the entire event in one location.
