Sommernachtslauf Schloss Hof 2026

Runners share the Baroque garden of Schloss Hof with the estate’s animals at this summer-evening race in Schloßhof, Austria. The Sommernachtslauf Schloss Hof offers 5 km and 10 km runs, a 5 km Nordic Walking option, and children’s races over 100 m, 300 m, and 1 km. The kids’ program includes the Prinzessinnen- und Prinzenlauf, open to children from age 1 to 15. The route runs through the Baroque ensemble of Schloss Hof, including the garden and the area around the palace, so the setting is more palace grounds than city streets. Entry includes access to the whole outdoor area of Schloss Hof, and part of the entry fees and fan tickets goes to Lichtblickhof e.motion, which supports children, young people, and families in difficult life situations. The event also has a family angle beyond the races: spectators can buy fan tickets, and the “Krone” offer lets a runner bring a running buddy for free.
