Altötting Half to go ahead again

The race on 12 September is the 30th anniversary edition and the course is the fastest held on natural surfaces. The race route is mainly on forest trails and the event records are 1:01:39 for men and 1:08:38 for women.

Organisers expect around 1500 participants. This is far lower than during normal times, but due to all the Coronavirus restrictions even 1500 participants signifies a success.

Race day includes three different races (a children’s race of 1.3 km, a 6km race and the half marathon itself). Masks are required before and after the race (but not during it). There is no requirement for negative tests or proof of vaccination – everybody can run in Altötting.

All participants get a specially-created medal as well as a towel with a photo-print of the famous pilgrimage town of Altötting.
