From the motorway bridge to Linz Hauptplatz
The full race is 42.195 km, with a route measured by the organizer’s AIMS measurer using the Jones Counter method. Open the full-marathon map and elevation profile rather than the quarter-marathon or relay pages, which appear beside it in the event menu.
The bridge start and city-square finish make transport planning part of race preparation. Identify the permitted pedestrian approach to the start and where your belongings will be after finishing. A hotel near Hauptplatz may simplify the return without making it the correct race-morning assembly point.
The full marathon and four-person relay currently share a 09:30 start, while the quarter marathon is listed earlier. Relay changeover shuttles serve specific relay legs, not individual marathon runners. Follow the information attached to your own bib category when arranging transport or support.
The organizer lists capacity-based price tiers and says the earliest €75 allocation is exhausted. Check the current tier before paying. Austrian national-championship entrants must use the federation’s registration process; the separate Linz city championship requires eligibility and a selection during entry. Confirm those requirements if seeking a championship result. Keep the bridge start and Hauptplatz finish saved as separate locations in your travel notes, with the final baggage-collection point added when published.
