The Generali Traunsee Halbmarathon, famously known as a "run into the sunset" event, offers a uniquely scenic running experience along the stunning Lake Traunsee in Austria. Held annually on the "longest Saturday" of the year, typically around the summer solstice, the event provides a magical atmosphere as participants race towards the breathtaking sunset over the lake. Beyond the main Generali Half Marathon (21.0975 km), the event embraces runners of all ages and abilities with shorter distances including the Intersport Genuss-Lauf (11.5 km), the Omni-Biotic Sun-Run and OÖNachrichten Junior-Run (both 4.0 km), and the SEP Mini Marathon with varying lengths of 150m, 300m, 550m, and 900m for the youngest participants. The course, predominantly flat and fast, guides runners from Ebensee through picturesque Traunkirchen and Altmünster to the finish line in Gmunden, culminating in a vibrant "Motivation Mile" cheered on by spectators and a DJ.
