You have probably heard about the fantastic Christmas markets in Vienna. Would you like to combine a weekend where you visit the legendary Christmas markets with a running competition in the fabulous Prater area (where you can also find a Christmas market)? It is time to register for the annual Advent Run in Vienna.

The Advent Run in Vienna is available for runners who want to run either 3km or 7km. The event takes place in the Prater area, and the start is from Prater Hauptallee. This area is popular for running competitions in Vienna, meaning that there are several other running competitions happening in exactly the same area at other times of the year.

All participants run the 3km route first. If you sign up for the 10km race, you will continue with the traditional 7km route which is in use in other races such as the Leopoldi Run.

The entry fee for the race is normally 26 euros, but if you only register on the spot in front of the race, the price will be a little bit higher.

There is something special about running in a city in the evening or at night. More and more cities have introduced so-called night runs in addition to the traditional marathons and half-marathons, and Vienna is one of them. Every year in June, the Vienna Summer Night Race invites runners from all across the world to participate and enjoy the beautiful city of Vienna while running distances of either 5km or 10km.

This race, like many other running competitions in Vienna, is arranged in the Prater area. The Vienna Summer Night Race is ideal for those running alone, or you can join and run together with two of your friends. It is possible to register as an individual, or as a group of three for both the 5km and the 10km distances.

The races start at Prater Hauptallee Praterstern and you run up and down the area surrounding the famous Prater Amusement Park, and you also run close to the famous Ernst-Happel Stadium in Vienna.
