About the Event

The WelschLauf marathon takes place in southern Styria every year on the first Saturday in May. In 2026, the marathon starts in Wies in the Schilcherland region and leads you to Ehrenhausen on the South Styrian Wine Road. Since we change the direction of the race each year, this year you'll be running from Schilcher to Welschriesling. Actually, this sporting challenge amidst the enchanting wine landscape is the "longest" wine festival among the vines and vineyards of southern Styria! Whether you are an ambitious marathon runner, half-marathon finisher, recreational runner or team player in the Gretzl, with the four distances offered – from 42.2 km to 5.3 km – there is something for everyone. Your mission for May 2nd, 2026: Motivate your friends, put on your running shoes and head to the 31st WelschLauf Südsteiermark!
