sight from a close distance.

The final meters of all main-competition on the red carpet directly ahead of famous Salzburg Festival Hall will be a very special experience to all runners.

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.
Please note:
Despite the closure of Salzburg Airport
in spring 2019 due to renovation work, Salzburg is easily accessible.
Thanks to excellent train connections, Salzburg can be reached quickly
from the airports of Munich (about two and a half hours), Vienna-Schwechat (about two and a half hours) and Linz (about one and a half hour).
