The challenging half marathon has been taking place since 1997, and each year attracts more than 800 runners. Coincidentally, the population of this small lakeside settlement is also around 800. The route includes sections of tarmac road as well as gravel. One of the highlights is the crossing of a **swing bridge** on the eastern side of the lake. The bridge is located above the deepest part of the lake.
