29. Marktlauf Markersdorf 2026

Marktlauf Markersdorf is a street running event held in mid-August in Markersdorf, a village in Lower Austria. The schedule includes short children's races of approximately 300 meters and a main race of about 10 km, suitable for toddlers, children, club runners, and adults seeking a challenging road race. Sportunion Markersdorf-Haindorf organizes the event, which is part of the Pielachtal Laufcup. The main race follows a five-lap course covering 9.855 km. Previous years have seen the event take place during high summer temperatures, turning the repeated laps into a sustained test rather than a casual village run. The results typically reflect a local cup field, with age-group runners competing seriously. Winners in the main categories usually finish between 38 and 41 minutes, with other participants spread across various age groups.
