Vienna City Marathon

Vienna City Marathon runners and Wiener Symphoniker united in one orchestra

The Vienna City Marathon (VCM) is Austria’s largest marathon and has taken place every spring in Vienna since 1984. From the very beginning, it has seen itself not only as a major sporting event, but as a running experience that uniquely combines culture and sport – right through the world’s capital of music. Year after year, the VCM blends endurance, enthusiasm, and the city’s cultural diversity into an unmistakable experience.

“Music and sport bring people together and are understood all over the world. By linking marathon running with classical music, we have been showcasing Vienna’s strengths for many years,” says VCM Managing Director Dominik Konrad.

Following its successful premiere, the ‘Concert for the Marathon’ returns. On Saturday, 17 April 2027, the Vienna City Marathon and the Wiener Symphoniker will once again bring together runners with a passion for music and members of the Wiener Symphoniker in the Golden Hall of the Musikverein Wien, on the eve of the Vienna City Marathon.
