Event Details
Start
The race officially begins on Sunday at 10:00 am in Spitz and continues downstream on the B3 towards Krems.
The starting line is located directly next to the ship station in Spitz.
Be there and experience the unique flair of the half marathon start in Spitz with lovely Danube views.
From Emmersdorf to Krems
The WACHAUmarathon running route is enjoyed and appreciated by thousands of hobby runners due to its flat topography. There is hardly an easier and faster stretch than the one between Emmersdorf and Krems. Beginners especially appreciate when there is a running event with no hill or mountain. These ideal topographical conditions enable them to more easily achieve their own personal running goals. On the other hand the WACHAUmarathon can offer performance-oriented runners the perfect conditions for a fast race. In this way the Wachau “track” especially promotes personal best performances.
The marathon starts in Emmersdorf at 10 a.m. at the same time as the halfmarathon gets started in Spitz. The marathon route goes upstream from Emmerdorf on the B3 until the small village of Weitenegg, where the runners will get to the road next to the beautiful danube and turn downstream back to the starting point in Emmersdorf. From there on the route follows the B3 until reaching Krems. In Krems you won’t have to run through the city any more which makes the marathon both: more attractive and faster!
The relay race can be run in a team of 2, 3 or 4 runners.
