Races in Austria

Did you know that Austria is Europe’s highest-perched country? 40% of the territory lies above 1,000 meters in altitude ⛰, with a peak high point at Grossglockner in the famous Tyrol (3,797 meters). Suffice to say that hiking fans 🚶🏻‍♂ know the country well. They will still have taken the time to discover the joys of the capital, Vienna, a city that’s very culturally vibrant. Vienna’s waltzes can set the pace for something other than your New Year’s Day, we swear! Austria is the homeland of Schubert and Mozart—it’s the perfect chance to take an interest in classical music or dive deeper into the subject... The “garden city” of Graz, located in the south of the country, is known for its parks, while Linz in the northwest, near Germany and the Czech Republic, is crossed by one of Europe’s greatest rivers, the Danube. The country’s third-largest city is inspiring enough to have its own 🎵 Mozart melody, the “Linz Symphony”... Like Vienna, Linz is a great city to visit. Many cultural events take place there, such as the Ars Electronica Festival, held since 1979, celebrating the relationship between art and technology. Culture and sport—Austria is the full package! The country is indeed home to many top-level athletes, with skiers ⛷ leading the way. There’s no counting the medals and titles collected by Annemarie Moser-Pröll, Hermann Maier and their peers...

Find the race calendar in Austria. Trail, triathlon, walking, half marathon or marathon, what do you want in this lush green country? Of course, trail races are plentiful here—more than any other type of event! The KAT100 offers many distances and routes within the Kitzbühel area, known for the ski competitions ❄️ held there. It’s an event that counts toward the UTMB World Series, just like the Mozart 100®, which winds through forests and mountains around Salzburg. Fancy running in the city and on road? The Vienna Marathon offers you the majestic treasures of the hometown of Niki Lauda. You can experience this event with the whole family: a kids’ race is planned, as well as a half marathon and a 10 km. What more could you ask for? There’s something for everyone!

So, full speed ahead to Austria?
