Held every year in late August or early September in the small Schilcher wine region in the Steiermark (Styria) state in Austria, the Schilcherlauf is a popular and atmospheric road running event that attracts around 1,000 or more participants.
It offers races for all ages and fitness levels:
- 150m-1.1km-2.2km kids' races
- 5.25km run
- 5.25km walk
- 10.5km run
- 21.1km half marathon
- 4 x 5.25km team run (runners start together; finisher times are combined to give a team result)
All races begin and end in Stainz, a village with about 1,800 residents and a Baroque castle on top of a hill, located approximately 30 kilometres from the city of Graz and 60 kilometres from Maribor in Slovenia.
Starting on Hauptplatz, the main square (pictured), the route is a 5.25km loop through the village and agricultural land. Each lap includes 35 metres of ascent.
