Leibnitz (Austria), Saturday 15 July 2017

Held yearly on a Saturday night in July, the Römerlauf pays tribute to the Romans who founded the city of Flavia Solva which was situated near the modern town of Leibnitz in Austria's state of Styria.

Over 2,000 runners and walkers, some dressed up as Romans, took part in the event last year.

The 20.86km Halbmarathon is two laps of the Viertelmarathon route, a scenic loop that takes the runners through the town centre of Leibnitz, across the Seggauberg and around the Sulmsee:

Each lap features 80m of ascent and 80m of descent.

By contrast, the 6.7km Volkslauf route is more or less flat.

Some portions of the course are on trails.

During the race, the course is illuminated with more than 1,000 lights.
