Description
From the start at Reichsbrücke to the finish on Ringstraße between Burgtheater and Rathausplatz: the Vienna City Marathon takes in Vienna's modern and historical highlights. A centrepiece is the legendary Prater Hauptallee, which was awarded "World Athletics Heritage" in 2022. It is precisely here that Eliud Kipchoge broke the magic sub-2 barrier and ran a marathon in 1:59:40.2 hours on 12 October 2019. A quarter of the VCM course runs over Kipchoge's 1:59 course.
The event offers running events for the whole family on two days. On Sunday, in addition to the marathon over 42.195 kilometres, a half marathon and a relay marathon will take place at the same time. Saturday is the day for children's races, for inclusion and for shorter distances.
