Held annually on a Friday summer night at Lake Ossiach in Austria's state of Kärnten (Carinthia), the Ossiacher See Nachthalbmarathon attracts around 600 to 700 runners, many of them holidaymakers and day trippers from neighbouring countries.

The route alternates in direction each year. In 2012, participants will run from Bodensdorf on the northern shore to Ossiach on the southern shore. Pre-race ferry transportation from Ossiach to the start in Bodensdorf is included in the entry fees.

In addition to the half marathon, the event offers a 7km race for runners and nordic walkers, as well as shorter children's runs.

The route is on mildly undulating roads and bikeways, mostly close to the shore.

Last year, the top half marathon finishers were Niklas Kröhn (1:15:22) and Ulrike Striednig (1:31:08).
