Carinthia Runs

Kärnten Läuft is a three-day running festival held on the shores of Lake Wörthersee that brings together a suite of road races, walks and family events under the single Running City brand. The series page for 2026 announces the 25th edition and presents a festival timetable with bib pickup, a Sport EXPO, evening events and race starts distributed across Velden, Pörtschach and Klagenfurt. The programme is explicitly family-friendly and sponsor-backed, combining competitive races such as the Wörthersee Halbmarathon with children’s races, dog runs and community walks.

The festival format centres on a Running City event village with expo services, clothing transport, aid stations and spectator hotspots, plus logistics guidance for arrivals by car and ÖBB rail. Registrations are handled via the organiser’s stated registration partner and a post-entry (Nachnennung) window is provided at the expo. The site highlights the mixed programme of performance, leisure and community activities, positioning Kärnten Läuft as both a competitive race weekend and a holiday-style running experience on the lake.
