The races of the event Resia Lake

For every participant the corresponding level

Each participant chooses his own level. The Olympic spirit “IT IS IMPORTANT TO PARTICIPATE“ is important at the Resia Lake’s race. Therefore both the ambitious runner and the hobby runner will find a suitable category. All participants are seen as winners and all those who do not participate have missed a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Main race Just for Fun Nordic Walking Handbiker Children race

Nordic Walking

Nordic walkers are also welcome to participate in the Resia Lakes’race.
In this category the participants are divided and evaluated in one category (class 1900 – 2005).

AFor organisational reasons, there will be no marshals or judges to monitor compliance with Nordic Walking technique. The organisers count on the sporting fair play of the participants. Jogging or mixed forms of running and jogging are not tolerated. Constant ground contact and active use of the upper body are decisive.

Due to the fact that the Nordic Walking technique is not checked, the prize will not be awarded to the fastest person, but 10 athletes will be drawn by the organizer and get the noncash prizes immediately after crossing the finish line.

Reasons why I want to participate as a Nordic Walker:
(despite the absence of competition judges):

Doing sport with a large group of enthusiasts
Experience the atmosphere of a competition
Compete with friends or like-minded people
Enjoying the wonderful natural landscape around the beautiful Lake Resia
Measure yourself against yourself – improve on the previous year’s result
Enjoy the same services as the participants
(such as race package, massage, catering, showers, etc.)

Handbiker

One of the most important category of the event is the Handbiker. It is a great honour for us to have disabled athletes as participants. They start a few minutes before the main race and are frantically cheered by the audience.

Every year around 500 children between the age of 8 and 16 participate.
The youngest run around lunchtime. Depending on their age, they run a track of different lengths. Each child is cheered on by numerous spectators and feels like a winner. The children are rewarded with various surprises as soon as they cross the finish line and in the prize-giving ceremony.
