Langenzersdorfer Weihnachtsmarathon

Langenzersdorfer Weihnachtsmarathon is a marathon with half marathon, 10 km and 5 km races held in Langenzersdorf, Austria, in December.

The event is staged at the Seeschlacht leisure area, close to Vienna and reached from the S3 train station. Everything is run on one short loop around a bathing pond. The loop measures 959 metres and has been checked with GPS and GLONASS devices, so each race is simply a set number of laps: 44 for the marathon, 22 for the half marathon, and about ten and five for the shorter runs.

There are also festive options in the Reindeer Run of 9.59 kilometres and the Elf Run of 4.795 kilometres, plus children's races of 400 to 959 metres. Because the loop is so compact, runners pass the start and finish area every few minutes, which suits beginners, experienced racers and families alike.
