The Winzerlauf in Poysdorf is a special running event every year. The combination of athletic challenge, beautiful scenery, and a convivial atmosphere makes this event a true highlight in the regional running calendar.
In 2026, the Winzerlauf once again attracted around 300 participants to Poysdorf in the Weinviertel region. In the 10 km main run alone, 173 runners took to the start. Among them was organic farmer and long-standing Schalk Mühle supplier Karl Schodl, who was delighted to achieve a new personal best and a place on the podium.
A varied route through the Weinviertel
The 10-kilometer route leads through the picturesque landscape of the Weinviertel, past vineyards and fields, and through several of the cellar lanes typical of Poysdorf. In total, the runners pass three cellar lanes before crossing the finish line in the Poysdorfer Gstetten—effectively the fourth cellar lane.
A special challenge awaits at kilometer 8: the ascent through the Rösselberg cellar lane with an elevation gain of around 50 meters. Especially towards the end of the race, this section demands a great deal of strength and endurance. In return, participants are rewarded with a varied route and a unique atmosphere.
Personal Best and Podium Finish
The race was particularly successful for Karl Schodl. He was able to improve his personal best over 10 kilometers, reaching the finish line in just under 43 minutes. This secured him an excellent 3rd place in his age group.
A special success, which he was all the more pleased about given the quite demanding route.
Excellent Organization and a Great Overall Package
Great credit goes to the organizing club, LAC Harlekin Poysdorf, to which the successful runner himself belongs. The entire event impressed with its excellent organization and its simultaneously uncomplicated, informal atmosphere. The flexibility during registration was particularly positive: late entries were possible until shortly before the start.
The value for money was also remarkable. For an entry fee of around 15 euros, participants received a generous starter package in addition to taking part in the run. This included an organic protein bar and an organic protein pack from Schalk Mühle, regional honey, a bottle of wine, and a food voucher.
An all-around successful package that added further value to the event.
Support from Schalk Mühle
Schalk Mühle was also present at the Winzerlauf Poysdorf 2026 and supported the event with organic protein bars and organic protein packs for the participants.
For the successful runner, this support has a special meaning: as an organic farmer and supplier to Schalk Mühle, he has a long-standing cooperation with the company. He is therefore all the more pleased that this partnership is also visible within the framework of a regional sporting event.
The organic protein bars from Schalk Mühle are a practical companion for him after long training sessions and competitions. Through the support of the Winzerlauf, numerous other running enthusiasts also had the opportunity to get to know the products.
The combination of regional agriculture, high-quality organic products, and sporting activity shows how versatile regional partnerships can be.
Sporting Conclusion at the Sturmfest
After crossing the finish line, the day was far from over. The traditional Sturmfest also took place directly in the Poysdorfer Gstetten. With regional specialties, a glass of Sturm, and a cozy get-together, runners, companions, and visitors could let the day wind down in a relaxed atmosphere.
It is precisely this combination of sport, regional culinary delights, and social gathering that makes the Winzerlauf in Poysdorf a special event.
An All-Around Successful Running Event
The Winzerlauf Poysdorf 2026 impressed with a varied route, excellent organization, and an exceptionally good overall package. For the organic farmer and partner of Schalk Mühle, the run became a very special experience thanks to his new personal best and podium finish.
A heartfelt thank you goes to all the volunteers and LAC Harlekin Poysdorf for the successful event.
Schalk Mühle is pleased to have been part of this regional sporting event with its support and congratulates all participants on their athletic achievements!
