Krampus Run in Salzburg

I'm going to be in Salzburg on December 5 and 6, and I timed it to be there for the Krampus Run on the 5th. Now that it's close, I looked on the Salzburg website, and I found out that there are actually three that day. There's one at 5:00, one at 5:30, and one at 6:30. The one at 5:00 is just listed as Alstadt, the one at 5:30 has no location, and the one at 6:30 has the location as the Salzburger Christkindlmarkt.

So, my question is, does anyone have anymore info on these? Like the location for the first two? I would like to see all three if possible and I'm just wondering if it's possible. Since they are so close together in time, I want to make plans ahead of time so that I can make that happen. I don't want to wander around looking for them. Any other tips for the Krampus Run would be appreciated, too.

The first says "Altstadt" which could be anywhere in the old city (meaning of "Altstadt").
The second says Buergerspitalplatz, which is by the Spielzeug museum and the St Blasius Spiritual Center.
The third is at the Christkindel Markt by the Salzburg Cathedral.

Be prepared to be harmed. Do not bring children.

From what I can tell, the one at 5:30 is on Linzer Gasse, the one at 5:30 is the bigger one that goes down Getreidegasse, and then of course the one at 6:30 is at the main Christmas Market at the Residentzplatz.
