Beware of fake starting places

We have been informed that fake starting places for the Vienna City Marathon are being offered on various channels and that fake registration confirmations are in circulation.


Please be aware and take note:
 

  • Registrations or waiting list entries are only possible on our platform www.vienna-marathon.com.  
     
  • We have not yet sent out any registration confirmations and will only do so shortly before the event.
     
  • Our Facebook profile is www.facebook.com/vienna.city.marathon. Other profiles or groups with similar names are often a pretext for fraudulent activities and have nothing to do with us.
     
  • Fake starting places or registration confirmations are invalid. If you purchase a fake starting place, you will not be able to take part in the Vienna City Marathon. The chances of getting your money back are slim.
     
  • The Vienna Police asks runners who have been victims of fraud to report to the nearest police station, quoting the reference number (GZ): PAD/25/00169283/001/KRIM.  
     
  • We would like to point out that the resale of starting places is generally not permitted.
     
  • The option of ‘passing on a starting place to a friend’ is based on a relationship of trust and is intended for exchanges between two people who know each other personally.
     
  • We reserve the right to block starting places that are offered outside the regular channels.
