Kalterer See Half Marathon opens the running season

Hundreds of runners have been preparing for the 2018 competition season for weeks. In ten days they will have the opportunity to test their form under competition conditions at the 13th Kalterersee Half Marathon. Or possibly even to hunt for records – for example when it comes to setting a personal best. In any case, there are signs of a top-class competition in the Überetsch tourism stronghold, and registrations are going well.

Last year's winner, Khalid Jibari, is also taking part in the half marathon, as is Gianmarco Bazzoni, who took third place last year. Helmuth Mair, who finished tenth in 2017, also appears on the list of participants. For the women, Elena Casaro, who came second last year, wants to know just as much as Loretta Bettin (5th last year), Petra Pircher (winner 2016), Edeltraud Thaler and Doris Weissteiner. “One or two top athletes will certainly join us in the next few days. We are in contact with some top runners and hope that they will contact us as quickly as possible,” says the busy OK team from the South Tyrolean Running Club.

For connoisseurs: panoramic run and fun run The Lake Kaltern half marathon is not just the two laps and therefore 21,097 kilometers around the warmest swimming lake in the Alps. The Kalterer See Half Marathon appeals to everyone who enjoys running. That's why, in addition to the half marathon, the committed organizers are offering the panoramic run, which is 10,55 kilometers long and is organized in memory of David Pichler. However, if you don't want to run competitively, the fun run is the right choice. Here too, the distance to be covered is 10.550 meters. In contrast to the half marathon and panoramic run, participants do not have to present a medical certificate for this, but they are not included in the ranking.

Because the organizers are expecting around 1300 runners this year, the race will start in different waves. The starting signal for the top athletes on the 21,097 kilometer route is at 10 a.m. Four minutes later, the half marathon adventure begins for the remaining participants. At 10.10:XNUMX a.m. it's time for those athletes who are taking on the panorama or fun run to start.

The award ceremony will take place at 14 p.m. As part of this, the traditional raffle will also take place with lots of great non-cash prizes. Registration for the Kalterer See Half Marathon is possible on the website www.kalterersee-halbmarathon.com at a price of 35 euros for the half marathon, 22 euros for the panoramic run and 15 euros for the fun run.
