At the traditional New Year’s Eve Race in Wels, Fürstenstein personal trainer Tina Fischl (WSV Otterskirchen) celebrated an emotional victory over five kilometers. On the demanding 1.7-kilometer circuit, she initially held second place, while young Austrian Theresa Birglechner set the pace.
However, as the race progressed, Fischl drew on her experience, closing the gap lap by lap and taking the lead with a determined attack around 800 meters before the finish line. After 18:07 minutes, she crossed the finish line as the deserved winner, ahead of Birglechner and Emma Heinzer.
Fischl had already made history in Wels in 2016 with a course record of 17:14 minutes. After a successful end to the year, she is now looking ahead to the 2026 season and thanked her sponsors for their support.

Start-to-finish victory for Tina Fischl at the Freudensee Run in Hauzenberg
Beaming faces and fast legs around Lake Freudensee: athlete Tina Fischl delivered an impressive performance at this year’s 5-kilometer Freudensee Run in Hauzenberg.
On the demanding cross-country course, which due to adverse weather conditions consisted of three partly muddy laps around lake Freudensee, the 49-year-old dominated the field from the beginning. Shortly after the start, she pulled away from her opponents and celebrated a commanding start-to-finish victory against significantly younger competitors.
Tina Fischl completed the three laps, totalling 4.9km, in a time of 18:27 min. Anna Drexler came in second in 19:44 min, ahead of Martha Weber, who crossed the finish line in 19:51 min.
“I was able to really push hard right from the start and felt great. Despite the difficult conditions, it was a really enjoyable race”, said Fischl happily at the finish line.
Immediately afterwards, Fischl also took part in the relay race, where she competed for the Wellnesshotel Reischlhof team alongside Thomas Hafner and her husband Alex. The trio put in a strong team performance and ultimately took second place in the overall relay standings.

Tina Fischl wins the Zwölferhorn mountain run in commanding fashion
Once again, she has proven her exceptional talent in mountain running: Tina Fischl from WSV Otterskirchen won the extreme Vertical Up race up the Zwölferhorn (1,522m above sea level) in impressive fashion on Saturday. On the route, which was only four kilometres long but featured an elevation gain of almost 1,000 meters, the 49-year-old extreme runner gave her competitors no chance and secured victory in the women’s race with a lead of around three minutes.
Fischl went on the offensive right from the start. “I had a very good feeling from the start and was able to pull away early on. None of the girls could keep up with me”, she reported happily after the race. She took the lead after the first steep section and continuously extended it.
Second place went to last year’s winner Katarina Lovrantova from Slovenia, ahead of Sabrina Papst from Austria, neither of whom were able to match the fast pace set by the Fürstenstein native at any point.
“I knew that I could control the race if I found my rhythm”, said the personal trainer.
Despite the extreme conditions, Tina Fischl was enthusiastic about the competition: The weather was cool, windy, rainy and foggy in the finish area, but “perfect” for running.
Not only is the way Fischl dominated remarkable, but also her age: at 49 she left a significantly younger field of competitors behind her. “This shows that experience, mental strength, and passion are crucial in mountain running”, she emphasized with a smile.
With this success, Fischl once again underlines her class in extreme running and confirms her consistently strong form.

Tina Fischl defies the heat and wins again at the BMW Dingolfing half marathon
The asphalt shimmered, and the sun showed no mercy: this year’s 21st BMW Dingolfing half marathon demanded everything from the 1,500 participants. While many struggled against the temperatures, one athlete once again delivered an impressive performance: Tina Fischl from WSV Otterskirchen.
The top runner from Fürstenstein was neither deterred by the new route along the picturesque Isar river nor by the thermometer, which climbed mercilessly to around 28°C on Sunday afternoon. Shortly after the starting signal, Fischl made it clear that the road to victory would once again lead through her this year.
In her usual determined manner, she pulled away from the field early on and set a pace that was astonishingly fast given the conditions. But what initially seemed like a commanding performance became more of a mental challenge with every additional kilometre – and a race against an unexpected adversary: the heat.
But Tina persevered. With an outstanding time, she secured victory once again this year at the traditional race in Dingolfing. Yet another proof of her exceptional status in Bavarian long-distance running.
Despite the extreme conditions, participants were enthusiastic about the new route. The Isar River provided scenic attractions, while the perfect organization from start to finish once again set new standards.
Conclusion: Tina Fischl remains the woman to beat – and the BMW Dingolfing half marathon remains an event that runners from all over Bavaria can look forward to every year.

Tina Fischl fights her way to second place at the Lipno Sports Festival
With a spirit of adventure and sporting ambition, Tina Fischl from WSV Otterskirchen took part in the Lipno Sports Festival at the Moldova Reservoir in the Czech Republic. She had no idea that it would turn out to be a surprise race since she hadn’t translated the announcement. All she knew was that it would be around ten kilometers with an elevation gain of 350 meters.
After the start, it turned out to be challenging trail run over ski slopes, a viewing tower, a treetop path, and a technical downhill section. The first long climb already sorted the field. Fischl was initially in fourth place but steadily fought her way forward. On the final climb to the treetop path, she took second place and defended it confidently to the finish line – behind the multiple Czech champion and only six men.
For Tina Fischl, it was not only a sporting success, but also a very special experience: “A competition where you only realize what you’ve gotten yourself into during the race – that doesn’t happen to me very often. But maybe I should try surprise races more often!?”
