ソンバトヘイ周辺の5Kレース

The first Night Run lights up the city center. This run supports those in need and those seeking light in darkness, for a good cause. The route goes through the city center, followed by a party with music and snacks at Hauptplatz. Runners of all ages and types are welcome.

The Steinbrunner Ortslauf begins at Friedrich-Robak-Platz in Steinbrunn and takes place in early October, with the entire program scheduled for a late afternoon. Children's races of 500 meters and 1000 meters are held first, followed by the 5K main race, a team event, the 10K run, and a Nordic walking option, all starting from 4:30 p.m. LV Steinbrunn organizes the event, catering to a mixed local audience rather than exclusively fast runners. The event features food and drink stations on the course and at the finish line, awards for top male and female finishers at 6 p.m., and a post-race gathering. Registration and further event details are available on the LV Steinbrunn website.

The Neckenmarkter ROTE NASEN LAUF is a charity lap event at Sportplatz Neckenmarkt in Burgenland, held in October for ROTE NASEN. It is less a competitive race day and more an open movement event: participants can run, walk, stroll, cycle, or complete laps at their own pace, with late entry permitted after the morning start. Children under six participate without charge, while older children and teenagers pay a modest entry donation, adults pay a higher fee, and a family rate is available for two adults with children. The objective is straightforward: participation supports ROTE NASEN in visiting sick children, seniors, rehab patients, and individuals in stressful situations, utilizing humor as a form of support. The route is uncomplicated, as the event centers on laps at the sports ground rather than a set road course. Each lap contributes to the charity total, allowing fast runners, families, walkers, and those seeking a leisurely pace to engage in the same event without performance pressure. Every participant receives a ROTE NASEN starter package including the distinctive red foam nose, and costumes are encouraged, aligning with the clown-doctor charity behind the run. Participants can also establish a running profile to solicit additional donations from family or friends, extending fundraising efforts beyond the entry fee.

Red noses and costumes are integral to the Oggauer ROTE NASEN LAUF, a family-friendly charity run in Oggau am Neusiedler See, Burgenland. Laufimpuls Oggau organizes the event, using the sports field in Sportplatzzeile as the central hub for meeting, starting, finishing, lap checks, and showers. This event prioritizes participation over pace, rankings, or medals; each lap contributes to the ROTE NASEN mission of bringing laughter to individuals in hospitals and challenging circumstances. The primary course is a 1 km out-and-back loop through the village, extending from Sportplatzzeile along Triftsteig, Baumschulgasse, and Antonigasse before returning via the same path. Participants can run, walk, or proceed at a relaxed pace, accommodating children, seniors, club runners, and casual walkers. A separate, flat 500-meter senior course on firm asphalt is available, suitable for those using walkers. On-site registration is offered, with the starting donation payable in cash.

Stadtlauf Ternitz is a road race in Ternitz, Lower Austria, typically held in November, offering distances from 300 metres to 10 km. The shorter races accommodate children and beginners, while the 5 km and longer distances provide a challenge for club runners and faster age-group athletes. The event, organized by ATSV Nurmi Ternitz, is known locally as a traditional, family-friendly city run. Its participants range from hobby runners to ambitious athletes; recent 5 km results included age-group victories for Margit Racz in AK60 and Karl Trummer in AK50, demonstrating the presence of competitive masters runners.

Austria's national cross country titles are decided on grass-and-dirt loops that move around the country, with recent hosts ranging from Vorarlberg and Carinthia to Lower Austria and Burgenland. The Austrian Cross Country Championships are held annually in late autumn as a running event for the country's elite, juniors, masters, and younger age groups. The program uses cross-country races rather than road races, with common distances around 10 km, 5 km, and 4 km, plus children's and school races. At St. Margarethen in Burgenland, the races use the recreation area by the swimming lake on a relatively flat course already tested in state championships. The women's race is about 5.2 km, while the men choose between a short 3.4 km race and a 9.1 km long race. The long men's race and women's race award national championship titles; the men's short-course winner plus junior and masters winners are Austrian champions. Medals go to gold, silver, and bronze. U20 and U23 athletes can also medal in the overall competition, and strong runners arrive from road running, track, triathlon, and mountain running. The move from spring to late autumn makes it the closing highlight of the Austrian athletics season and can also decide places for the European Cross Country Championships.

The Zillingdorfer Silvesterlauf is a late-December 5 km road race in Zillingdorf, Lower Austria, with the start and finish at the Volksschule on Rathausstraße. The programme is built around the main 5 km run, with separate youth and children's races, so it is not just a single adult field lining up for one distance. LC Blattla organizes the event, with Andreas Kögler named as chairman and organizer. The race has enough local history for course records and repeat podium stories to matter: Emil Bezecny first reached the main-race podium as a young runner, added more second and third places later, and eventually won in Zillingdorf with a 14:55 for 5 km, breaking a course record that had stood for 14 years.

On the last day of the year, Pischelsdorf am Kulm hosts its ROTE NASEN LAUF, a charity run and walk centered on the motto “Nose on and run.” Pace is not the primary focus; runners, walkers, children, amateur athletes, and seasoned participants unite for a common cause. Participants select from three running courses and two Nordic walking paths, proceeding in groups accompanied by clown guides. The communal finish line crosses the market square noisily, heading toward the Oststeirerhalle, where a noodle meal is provided. The event offers childcare and face painting, and local organization is handled by KulmX - Bewegung & Sport, Sparverein Roma, and Freizeitklub WachAuf.
