New Concept for the St. Laurent Run

The new five-kilometer route of the St. Laurent Run is a deliberately chosen contrast between paved paths and a nature-oriented running environment. With this redesign, the organizers are responding to the growing trend towards enjoyment-focused running events.

It all kicks off on June 7: 550 starting spots are available for children and adults.

In previous years, the St. Laurent Run – traditionally held on the final day of the Tattendorf Grand Heuriger – primarily focused on a fast course and the participation of top Austrian runners. However, for this milestone anniversary, the organizers are now placing greater emphasis on recreational runners and the natural experience along the route.

The centerpiece of the new concept is a round course of approximately five kilometers that leads participants initially along the paved Eurovelo cycle path to Oberwaltersdorf. The return route takes them through the floodplain landscape on dirt and meadow paths, thereby providing a conscious contrast between paved paths and a nature-oriented running environment. With this redesign, the organizers of the St. Laurent Run are responding to the growing trend towards enjoyment-oriented running events, where the shared running experience and the scenic surroundings are at the forefront.

This year, 550 tickets are available – 350 starting spots for adults and 200 for children. The St. Laurent Run was sold out last year. Registration is possible online or in person until June 7, shortly before the start at the Grand Heuriger village at 8:30 AM. By the way, at the St. Laurent Run, there are not only coveted winner titles but also a short vacation for two people in Carinthia, including participation in the Wörthersee Half Marathon to be won.
