On April 17, 2011, about 30,000 runners from more than 70 nations will line up for the 27th Vienna City Marathon. This major sporting event attracts 100,000 enthusiastic spectators every year. They come to celebrate the athletes and to experience the euphoric atmosphere in Vienna up close.

The 42.2-km-long course is doubtless one of the most beautiful in the world, showing how multifaceted Vienna is: magnificent and modern, sporty and full of life. The marathon begins among the skyscrapers in the UN complex on the Danube and leads over the Reichsbrücke to the green park of the Vienna Prater. In the center of the city, the athletes then run past the impressive historical buildings like the Secession, the Vienna State Opera, the Museums of Natural History and Fine Arts, Parliament, City Hall, and the Burgtheater. The incomparable home stretch is at the imperial Heldenplatz in front of the buildings of the former imperial residence in the heart of Vienna.

For those whose athletic ability, motivation or endurance doesn't quite stretch to the full 42km there is also a half marathon (21.1km), a relay marathon and children’s mini marathon events.
