Course

The route starts at the Vienna International Centre, traverses the Reichsbrücke and the traffic junction Praterstern on the left side of the Donaukanal, then runs alongside the Ringstraße until reaching the Vienna State Opera. After crossing the left bank of the Wien river on Wienzeile to the Schönbrunn Palace, the route goes back to the Heldenplatz (via the Mariahilferstraße) where the half-marathon finishes. The full-marathon runners, however, continue past the Rathaus through Alsergrund to the Friedensbrücke. The track continues on the left side of the Donaukanal and the Praterstern, thus returning to the Prater, where it leads past the Ernst-Happel-Stadion and the Lusthaus, crosses over the Franzensbrücke, finally following the Ringstraße to the finish at the Heldenplatz.
