Welcome to the Flagship Run Vienna
Vienna, the capital of Austria, is known for its quality of life and its unique blend of tradition and modernity. Imperial splendour, Art Nouveau buildings and a long musical tradition shaped by famous residents such as Mozart and Beethoven meet contemporary architecture, art and festivals. The historic city centre is one of the most beautiful in Europe and, together with Schönbrunn Palace and Park, has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The extraordinarily green city â over 50% green space â is also one of the most âconnectedâ in the world, thanks to its location on the Danube with 1,700 bridges.
Participants in the Wings for Life World Run will not only experience the special flair of Vienna's historic centre but will also enjoy the meandering Danube and numerous tourist attractions like St. Stephenâs Cathedral and the Prater along the course.

The race through Vienna starts on âRingstrasseâ. Passing City Hall and Burgtheater, the University of Vienna and âSchwedenplatzâ, the route leads to the Vienna State Opera. From there it follows âLinke Wienzeileâ, âGumpendorfer GĂŒrtelâ and âMariahilfer GĂŒrtelâ across the various districts of Vienna. Along historic buildings such as the Museum of Fine Arts and Natural History, the âHofburgâ, the Parliament and the âBurgtheaterâ, runners in Vienna then once again pass the start before heading to âSchwedenplatzâ, followed by âWeissgerberlĂ€ndeâ, âStadionbrĂŒckeâ, Lusthausstrasse, Hauptallee, Praterstern, Lasallestrasse all the way to the ReichsbrĂŒcke, âWagramerstrasseâ and âArbeiterstrandbadstrasseâ, then over the âRollerdammâ onto the New Danube, over the âSteinitzstegâ onto the Danube Island and out to the âEinlaufbauwerkâ and on towards Lower Austria, out of the city to Tulln.
