This year's 26th women's run in Pichling once again saw 600 runners race around Lake Pichling. At the end, there were only beaming faces with roses and medals from young to old, because the running festival was an exclusive success for all women.

"We want to provide women with a day of exercise and enjoyment in beautiful surroundings," explained ÖGK regional head Harald Schmadlbauer before the start of the 26th women's run around Lake Pichling. Once again this year, numerous women who enjoy running accepted the invitation. "There are 600 runners at the start this year. As usual, there will be a high-quality medal and a rose presented by me personally at the finish line," said OC boss Ewald Tröbinger.

A rose for every woman
The race started at 9.15 a.m. with a Nordic walking session, before numerous beaming girls set off on the race at 10 a.m.. Linz's Deputy Mayor Karin Hörzing, who took part in the event half an hour later with starting number 553, was also beaming!
