10. Halbmarathon Kalterer See 2015

Lago di Caldaro (Italy), Sunday 29 March 2015

The Mezza Maratona Lago di Caldaro takes runners around Lake Kaltern in South Tyrol, an amazingly beautiful alpine province in the far north of Italy where native speakers of German and Italian live side by side.

Two race distances are on offer — the 10.55km ‘corsa panoramica’ (one lap around the lake), and the 21.1km half marathon (two laps).

The route is undulating and very appealing as it runs all the way through orchards and vineyards and lovely scenery.

In 2014, the half marathon winners were Hannes Rungger (1:09:57) and Kathrin Hanspeter (1:18:19). The time limit to finish the race is 2hr 30min.

Remember that at 2am on the day of the event the clocks jump one hour forward due to the start of 'European Summer Time', so don't be late!
