Vienna Half Marathon

The Vienna Half Marathon was founded in 1983, during the golden age of mass-participation running. Now 43 years old, it has established itself as a beloved fixture in Vienna, growing from its early editions into a race with genuine character and loyal following.

Runners come to the Vienna Half Marathon for one reason: personal bests. The flat, fast course through Vienna has a reputation as a PB factory, with the roads seemingly designed to keep your pace honest and your splits consistent from start to finish.

For thousands of runners each year, the Vienna Half Marathon is their first half marathon. The combination of a forgiving course, generous time limits, and supportive crowds has earned this race a reputation as the place where marathon journeys begin. The first-timer energy on race morning is palpable.
