Wörthersee Marathon 2026: The running event once around Lake Wörthersee

The new marathon around Lake Wörthersee will celebrate its premiere on Sunday, 27 September 2026. The concept is deliberately aimed at hobby and recreational runners who want to take on a special sporting challenge – a complete lap around Lake Wörthersee, combined with a varied route and unique scenery.

The first 21 kilometres along the southern shore are hilly and challenging, after which the route is flat and fast towards the finish. Variety, speed and lake panorama make this marathon a real highlight for anyone who wants to give their best.

During the Wörthersee Marathon, the Balance Hotel is the ideal retreat for runners, accompanying persons and those who just want to enjoy themselves.

The quiet location close to the route combines short distances with maximum relaxation. After the run, there is no hustle and bustle, just relaxation: spacious spa area, pools, saunas and relaxation rooms – perfect for regeneration after the sporting challenge.

You are also in good hands when it comes to culinary delights: light, high-quality cuisine and attentive service ensure that body and mind quickly regain their balance. Whether for optimal preparation, post-race recovery or as a comfortable starting point for the marathon weekend – the overall package is just right here.

A place where sporting performance and relaxation come together perfectly – in a quiet location, close to Lake Wörthersee and ideally connected to the marathon events.
