Cobblestone pavement, asphalt, gravel and woodland – the 21.9-kilometer stretch of the Raiffeisen half-marathon Hall-Wattens awaits with a very varied course, coupled with various smaller and larger slopes. Challenges that hundreds of attendees will again face. Before the main competition including the Volkslauf, the Nordic walking competition and the relay race is started at 4.00 pm, the Old Town Hall and the town center of Wattens belong to the new generation. From the Zwergerllauf in Hall (first start at 12:30 o’clock) to the subsequent children’s runs in Hall and Wattens, exciting competitions are waiting for the spectators, whereby it is already clear in advance: each of the young participants is celebrated like a winner!
Not only among the many starters is the anticipation of the biggest sporting event in the region, the tension also increases among the organizers. Heinz Lutz, the racing director and chairman of the performing association Haller Lauftreff, can rely on a well-established and motivated team.
Due to construction work, a small change in the route leads to the half marathon distance on the last kilometer. It is not necessary to go through the UMIT campus or the UMIT-Allee. Instead, the runners stay on the Kaiser-Max-Strasse and are guided over the Thurnfeldgasse to the old town and thus to the finish line.

Hall and Wattens are small cities in Tirol / Austria, around 20km from Innsbruck. It´s a very beautiful area and the course of course is the same. Start and finish is in the historic city of Hall and the atmosphere is nice. It´s an event for the whole family. The course takes runners from Hall to Wattens and then uphill back to Hall. Wattens is the home of the very popular brand Swarovski. As we are in the Alps the course is of course very tough!
