Podersdorf am See (Austria), Sunday 2 April 2017

The Leuchtturmlauf ("Lighthouse Run") is held on the eastern shore of the Neusiedler See, Austria's largest lake, located on the border with Hungary.

Competitors run either one lap (3.3km), two laps (6.6km) or three laps (10km) of a flat course through parkland in Podersdorf am See, the most popular resort in the region.

Each lap includes an out-and-back run to the Leuchtturm which stands at the end of a 200-metre-long pier (pictured above).

In 2016, 298 runners from seven countries took part in the event. The 10k race was won by local athlete Ingmar Mollnar (36 minutes 1 second). Simone Wesp of Germany was the first woman to cross the line (42 minutes 51 seconds).

The race is run on a mix of asphalt and gravel.
