Kärnten Läuft 2026

Kärnten Läuft 2026 is a multi-day running festival centred on the turquoise Wörthersee and staged across Velden, Pörtschach and Klagenfurt. The event weekend (28–30 August 2026) brings together road races, community walks and family activities under the Kärnten Läuft brand, celebrating its 25th anniversary. Participants can expect a sport expo, start-number collection, branded finish at Klagenfurt’s Running City and a varied race programme from youth sprints to the Wörthersee Halbmarathon.

The festival features both competitive and recreational offerings, including the Kleine Zeitung Wörthersee Halbmarathon, the AK Viertelmarathon, the Wörthersee Walk and multiple family and children's races. Organised by MJK Sportmarketing GmbH, the event provides athlete services such as chip timing, clothing transport to the finish, aid stations and finish-area facilities, and the start number acts as an ÖBB travel pass for specified legs. Entrants register via the official MaxFun registration link and official results, photos and media are published through the organisers' linked portals.
