Start & Finish

• We are using the great facilities of Rugby Union Donau Wien as home base for the VCM Winter Run, just like at the 1st VCM Winter Run. 
• The entrance is located at Meiereistraße 20, 1020 Vienna, right by the Hauptallee and the Stadionbad parking lot.
• Last-minute bib collection on Sunday, medals, finish refreshments, awards ceremony and great atmosphere after the run: Everything in one place! 
• Changing rooms & showers are available for you there. 
• The changing rooms are unlocked and there are no lockers. No liability for loss or theft. Leave valuables at home.
• Start & Finish will be located just like at the 1st VCM Winter Run on Prater Hauptallee, moved a bit towards the Ferris wheel to the other side of the intersection area. This way we can use fixed power from Rugby Union and avoid the energy-intensive use of generators. 
• The start will again be designed somewhat narrower than in previous years, enabling a more even flow of all runners onto the course.
• Position yourself in the start lineup according to your running pace.
  - 4-5 min/km 
  - 5-6 min/km 
  - 6-8 min/km
• The running route itself remains completely the same. 
• Note the extended 4th lap for half marathon runners.
• The approach also remains the same, whether by U2 (Stadium), by bus 77A, by bicycle or by car (Stadionbad parking lot)
• Awards ceremony: at the Rugby Union facility for the top 3 men & women in all four events. Overall ranking only, no age group awards.

Order your VCM Winter Run Medal

Price: € 5
Order: until registration deadline of the respective event together with registration or via link in your registration confirmation.

The VCM Winter Run Medal is a great keepsake for your run. It is a three-dimensional snowflake and consists of two interlocking wooden parts with ribbon. The VCM Winter Run Medal is made in Lower Austria and produced from regional wood. This way we offer a resource-saving and sustainable keepsake.

Important: There are no additional orders on site! If you want to receive a medal, you must pre-order it.

The top 3 in the overall ranking of each race will receive their VCM Winter Run Medal regardless of an order at the awards ceremony.
