AtterRun – Family-Run at the Attersee
The ATTERRUN on Saturday, June 20, 2026, is one of the most beautifully situated running events in all of Austria — a family-friendly celebration of running set on the crystal-clear shores of Lake Attersee. Part of the Sport Streicher Running Tour, this event in Seewalchen am Attersee is designed with a spirit of community and shared joy at its heart: the focus is not on winning, but on running together through one of the most spectacular natural environments in Central Europe. With distances of half marathon (21 km), 10,000 m, 5 km, and a dedicated children’s run, every member of the family can participate at their own pace and level.
The start is at 1pm, and the course follows the incomparable shoreline of the Attersee — famed for its extraordinary water clarity and luminous, deep blue-green colour. Running along its shores with the lake gleaming beside you and the Salzkammergut mountains rising above offers views that are as rewarding as any finishing medal. The half marathon distance in particular takes runners through some of the most spectacular lake scenery in all of Austria, creating a race experience that combines athletic challenge with genuine natural beauty.
Lake Attersee has attracted artists, musicians, and nature lovers for generations — most famously Gustav Klimt, who spent many summers on its shores and produced some of his greatest landscape paintings here. The lake’s combination of natural beauty, warm water in summer, and easy access from major Austrian cities makes it one of the most loved destinations in the entire Salzkammergut region throughout the year.
From Hallstatt Hideaway the Attersee is just about 30 minutes away — ideal for combining race day with a relaxing afternoon by the lake. Active guests staying at the Hideaway will find the Attersee and surrounding region offers some of the finest running, swimming, and cycling terrain in Austria, with the ATTERRUN as one of the great seasonal highlights for anyone who loves sport in beautiful natural surroundings.
