About the race
The Austrian is a looped running event held at Hardwick Hall Estate. The course is a single lap of 6.03 km around the estate, presented in the format the organizer describes as a standard 6 hour looped event. Participants only need to complete one lap to receive a finisher medal.
The event features two medal options. One is a large commemorative medal with a diameter of 48 cm and a reported weight of 7.5 kg. An alternative standard-sized medal is available; the standard-sized medal entry is listed at £50. The organizer notes that each large medal costs close to £80, and they are covering part of that cost themselves.
Entries are limited to a small field, with the organizer stating the total number of runners will never exceed 150. The event is presented with attention to the venue, with an emphasis on the estate grounds and its history. The organiser also frames the event around a small group atmosphere and on-course support as part of the event experience.
