HOCHRINDL - our new home - run2gether Laufen, Österreich / Kenia

With the 2016 season, a new era has begun for our run2gether activities in Austria. The Hochrindl, a mountain pass in the Alps located at an altitude of 1600 meters in the state of Carinthia, will now be the center of our high-altitude running weeks.

Over the last 8 years, we’ve gained a lot of experience hosting running camps. And during this time we’ve consistently tried to tweak various needs, including things like topography, altitude, accessibility, accommodations, infrastructure, and room for future growth. Now, with the Hochrindl as our base, we’re happy to be able to offer you what we feel is an optimal Location.

The altitude of 1,530m to 2,230m lets runners adjust more quickly to an oxygen-reduced climate, yet still offers the optimal setting for effective high-altitude training. Located away from high-tourist areas, the Hochrindl’s rolling hills are the perfect terrain for runners. Whether you’re a beginning runner or training for your next marathon, the various routes – ranging from completely flat to moderate climbs – offer something for everyone. And not too far away, the peaks of the Nock Mountains are ready to give you mountain and trail runners a real run for your money. So if it’s a Kenyan hill and speed workout you’re looking for, or an easy morning jog, or a demanding tempo run, we can put together the appropriate course for you.

Fantastic accommodations

Our relocation to Hochrindl coincides with our new partnership with JUFA Hotels. Built in 2010, the JUFA Haus Nockberge/Hochrindl has lots to offer us. Set at the ideal altitude of 1,640 meters and with largely flat running trails located right outside the door, the hotel has comfortable, spacious rooms (single, double, family) outfitted in native wood. All rooms come with balcony, shower, and bathroom. The hotel also has a large wellness area with 3 different saunas, a seminar room, a gym, and playgrounds outside for children. With alpine cabins, nature walks, and scenic views, the area around Jufa Haus is ideal for both sports and families.
