Pillersee Half Marathon

Run once around the Buchensteinwand and enjoy the dreamlike scenery of the PillerseeTal. Each year on the Austrian National Day it's time for participants to lace up their running shoes and complete the approximately 21 kilometres around the Buchensteinwand. From the valley station of the Bergbahn Pillersee, the route leads along tarmacked or well secured paths, via Hochfilzen and Fieberbrunn and then back to the start. Along the route, there are countless refuelling stations, where you can build up your strength in between. Anyone can take part, from amateur athletes to running professionals.

The route leads from the valley station of the Bergbahn Pillersee via the Wiesensee to Hochfilzen, and from there it continues towards Pfaffenschwendt and Fieberbrunn. From Fieberbrunn to St. Jakob in Haus, participants must overcome a steep ascent, before reaching the village centre of St. Jakob in Haus and finishing back at the valley station. The route can be done as an individual runner or as a relay team of 4 people. Nordic Walkersare always welcome and will be raced in their own classification. In addition to this, companies from the PillerseeTal can also take part.
