Exceptional medal: a working pocket watch

Worldwide interest in Altötting

Medaille uhr 2023

The big marathons in Germany, like Berlin or Frankfurt, attract participants from all over the world but some small events, like the Altötting Half Marathon in Bavaria, also attract worldwide entries.

The race, scheduled for 17 September, has registered participants from Ireland, Switzerland, Finland, Latvia, New Zealand, the USA and even a whole group from Ghana.

The unusual medal – a functional pocket watch – may have something to do with it but Altötting can also score points as a famous place of pilgrimage and has a lot of other things to offer.

Participants get a free city tour and for foreign participants, of course, it is in English.

Start numbers are handed out directly at the railway station (for train passengers). There is free transport by train, free childcare and much more.

Altotting sets standards: a special results list gives athletes “best rating”, which takes into account the age of the participants. The top 10 “best” (not fastest) athletes are rewarded as well.

And for everyone, of course, there is the attraction of the super-fast and flat route through the Altöttinger Forest (course records 1:01:39 / 1:08:38).
