One of Austria’s oldest and most scenic road races, the International Wolfgangsee Run (run around Lake Wolfgang) returns as a multi-day festival on 17–19 October 2025, with its biggest race day on 19 October when thousands of runners tackle distances from the short Panoramalauf to the full marathon. The festival program includes weekend warm-up events (walks, junior races and shorter runs) and four main competitions that start from different lakeside towns (eg. St. Wolfgang, Strobl, Gschwendt) and showcase the Salzkammergut’s shoreline, historic towns and mountain backdrops. The marathon incorporation into the event brings a longer single-loop option that begins in Bad Ischl and joins the classic 27 km circuit around the lake, while shorter 5.2 km and 10 km options provide accessible choices for beginners and tourists. With strong local organisation and on-course support, the race is celebrated as a landscape-and-experience run that regularly attracts ~4,000 participants and winners from both the elite and mass-participation fields.
