Linz Donau Marathon

Linz Donau Marathon, officially the Oberbank Linz Donau Marathon, is a large-scale city running festival in Linz, Austria, built around one of the country’s best-established spring marathon weekends. Organized by Linzer Veranstaltungsgesellschaft m.b.H. (LIVA), the event combines a fast, officially measured marathon course with a broad participation format that also includes the half marathon, relay marathon, quarter marathon, and 5K, plus handbike and inline-skating races. The race uses multiple start areas in Linz, including the Voest freeway bridge and Untere Donaulände, before bringing runners into the finish zone in the city center, giving it the feel of a full urban sports festival rather than a standalone road race.
