10. Übersbacher Frühlingslauf 2012
10th "Übersbach Spring Run" 2012
Übersbach (Austria), Saturday 24 March 2012
|
The Übersbacher Frühlingslauf attracts around 700 runners and nordic walkers to the pretty village of Übersbach, located amid rolling hills in south-eastern Austria. Every year, the event also draws a fair number of athletes from nearby Hungary and Slovenia. Runners choose between the half marathon (three laps, start at 9am) or the 7K race (one lap, start at 3pm) — or they run both races (28km "Kombiwertung"). The route is mostly flat out-and-back on country lanes. Shortly before the turning point participants cross a small hill. The course is completely closed to all traffic. Last year, the fastest half marathon finishers were masters athletes Wolfgang Wallner (1:11:48) and Elfi Pierer (1:35:57). |
