On September 7, 2024, the first Klagenfurt Airport Night Run took place, with 1.100 running enthusiasts from Carinthia conquering the airport runway.
The participants covered a 5,5-kilometer route on the illuminated runway. The event, organized by the “Kärnten Bewegen” initiative and Antenne Kärnten, served a charitable purpose: the proceeds went to the organization Rainbows Kärnten, which supports children and young people in difficult life situations.
After the run, participants and accompanying persons celebrated at an after-run party organized by Antenne Kärnten. Deputy Governor Martin Gruber and organizers were enthusiastic about the premiere of the event, which could now take place annually.
