Start – finish – victory and a new course record
The ALOHA winter run cup has become a popular sporting event in Linz that brings together running enthusiasts from the region. Participants not only compete for personal bests, but also for the coveted victory in their respective categories.
The more than 200 participants from Austria and Bavaria could choose whether they wanted to run the 5km, 10km or 15km race.
At temperatures below freezing, partly strong winds and light snowfall, the runners had to cope with a 2.5km circular route with start and finish at the “Lentos Kunstmuseum”, along the Donaulände, past the Brucknerhaus and on the Kunstmeile. Each round featured a short but steep ascent.
Tina Fischl had also traveled to Linz that morning to compete against her rivals over the 10km distance and to test her current level of performance at the beginning of the new running season.
Right after the starting signal, the personal trainer from Fürstenstein took the lead of the women’s field and picked up the pace on the first lap. The gap to the second-placed woman quickly increased and Fischl was on her own.
Fischl left her competitors no chance in the further course of the race either. With an impressive time of 37:06 min., Tina Fischl not only secured overall victory, but also improved the course record for this distance by more than a minute. Second place went to Austrian Anna Lipp with a time of 40:34 min., ahead of Corina Kohlberger. In addition, only two male athletes crossed the finish line before the personal trainer at this distance.
Extremely satisfied and fully motivated, Tina Fischl is now looking forward to the upcoming events of the 2025 season.
