Run around the Loosdorf Summit Cross

The event "Lauf rund um das Loosdorfer Gipfelkreuz 2026" is an annual community running event organised by ASK McDonald’s Loosdorf, staged in Albrechtsberg, Niederösterreich. The race is a short cross-country/trail loop of approximately 6 km that follows the Pielach, climbs to the local Gipfelkreuz (summit cross) and returns to the start/finish area. The organiser publishes registration via its website and offers age-group trophies and prizes for top finishers, making this a local, participation-focused competition. The start/finish is listed at Ofenlochstraße 23 in Albrechtsberg and the course includes a marked start/finish zone with on-site registration options.

Entrants can expect a scenic, mixed-terrain route combining trail and cross-country sections rather than a closed road race, with at least one aid point noted in the start/finish area. Entry is low-cost (EUR 10 is shown on the organiser information) and the event traditionally awards trophies for age-group winners, emphasising community competition and local participation. Note there are conflicting start-time listings on public pages (examples include 10:00, 10:30 and an alternative listing of 13:30); prospective participants should confirm the official start time directly with ASK McDonald’s Loosdorf via the event webpage before travelling.
