Back in 2010 Salzburg Marathon was the first sports event in Austria to get certified as an organic event by the Salzburger Landwirtschaftliche Kontrolle (SLK). This is a special honour and a further confirmation on our way to a green event. In the following eight years, the certification was verified.
We provide organic food that derives from regional
cultivation since Salzburg is the region with the highest percentage of organic cultivation in the European Union. If this is not possible (for example bananas) we use
organic fair-trade products“, explains CEO Johannes Langer. The race
premium partners are BIO AUSTRIA.
