Salzburger Frauenlauf
The Salzburger Frauenlauf is a 5.5 km race for women and girls held in Salzburg’s Volksgarten on a Friday evening in May, starting at 19:15. It is part of the Lauffestspiele der Mozartstadt and is the largest active sports event in Western Austria. Participants aged 10 to 99, including adults and youths, can enter as runners or walkers. The route is flat, emphasizing a fast, accessible park course over climbing. Three-person teams compete simultaneously, not as a relay, fostering a group atmosphere from the outset. Club RunAustria organizes the event, utilizing the Volksgarten's evening setting to create a sunset ambiance where women of all ages run, walk, and share in health, fitness, togetherness, and empowerment.
