Velden am Wörther See (Austria), Monday 26 October 2015

The Casinolauf takes place in the chic resort of Velden am Wörther See which sits at the western end of the Wörthersee in Austria's state of Kärnten (Carinthia).

The event offers a 6.5km race and a number of shorter races for children.

Starting and finishing at the Casino Velden, participants run five laps of a 1.3km course through Velden's town centre and along the lakeside promenade.
