Salzburg Marathon

Every year in May, Salzburg becomes a stage for sports enthusiasts from all over the world. Since its premiere in 2004, the Salzburg Marathon has become the largest mass sports event in Salzburg, inspiring participants and visitors alike.


A weekend full of highlights in the Mozart city

The Salzburg Marathon offers a diverse event program for running enthusiasts, families, visitors, and the curious over three days. The centerpiece is the marathon day on Sunday, where thousands of runners from numerous nations run through the historic old town, past world-famous landmarks and along the Salzach river.

The start and finish area is centrally located in the old town – with a view of the Hohensalzburg Fortress, not only the participants experience an emotional finale here, but the spectators also enjoy a special flair. Throughout the course, music groups, fan zones, and refreshment stations create an atmosphere and ensure good supply. Alongside this, the Sport Mall in the Eisarena Salzburg invites everyone to discover and participate in sports.
