Vienna Half Marathon

The Vienna Half Marathon runs through the elegant streets of Austria’s capital, beginning near the Reichsbrücke bridge and following the Danube River toward the city center. Runners pass several well-known landmarks including sections of the Ringstrasse and historic boulevards lined with grand architecture. The course continues through central districts before finishing near the Burgtheater and Rathaus area. The route is largely flat with only gentle elevation changes. Wide avenues and long straight sections make the course comfortable for larger fields of participants. Spectators gather along the central streets and near the finish area to support runners. The combination of historic scenery and a relatively fast layout makes the race a popular event in Vienna’s running calendar.
