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.

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 to the ten finishers who come closest to the time set by the organiser. The predicted time is the average of several calculated times.

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.)
