The Vienna City Marathon is one of Europe's most iconic marathons, blending world-class racing with the timeless elegance of Austria's capital. Known for its fast, scenic course and exceptional organization, the marathon takes runners through Vienna's grand boulevards, historic landmarks, and magnificent imperial architecture.
The course showcases some of the city's most celebrated attractions, including the Vienna State Opera, Schönbrunn Palace, St. Stephen's Cathedral, and the iconic Ringstraße, before culminating in a memorable finish in front of the historic Burgtheater.
Vienna also holds a special place in marathon history. In 2019, the city witnessed one of the greatest moments in endurance sport when Eliud Kipchoge became the first person to run a marathon in under two hours during the INEOS 1:59 Challenge, completing the distance in 1:59:40. This achievement inspired millions of runners worldwide and cemented Vienna's place in marathon history.
