Registration for the marathon, half-marathon and relay marathon will open at the beginning of 2021.

Your transfer will of course remain valid.

The postponement has no effect on a voucher. If you have chosen this option, we will send you a voucher for the corresponding amount.

We want to hold running events on the way to the VCM 2021, as far as the legal regulations allow. If circumstances permit, 18 April 2021 is also a good option for an event.

If you have already transferred your starting place to 2021 and cannot start on 12 September 2021, there is the possibility to transfer your starting place to the Vienna City Marathon 2022. The planning date is 24 April 2022. Please send an e-mail to office@vienna-marathon.com for this purpose.

If you have already transferred your starting place to 2022 and now want to start at the VCM on 12 September 2021, there is the possibility to change. Please send an e-mail to office@vienna-marathon.com for this purpose.

If you do not want to take advantage of the possibility of a free transfer to 2021 or 2022, we can offer you a voucher based on the valid Austrian legal situation.

This procedure according to the "Kunst-, Kultur- und Sportsicherungsgesetz" (KuKuSpoSiG) provides for the issue of a voucher of up to 70 Euros and, if necessary, payment of any balance exceeding this amount. Find here the text of the law. Please understand that this link ia available in German language only. This law, adopted by the Austrian Parliament, applies to art, cultural and sports events that had to be cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020.

If you choose the option "KuKuSpoSiG", you will be issued with a voucher worth the entry fee paid, up to a maximum of 70 Euros. If your entry fee was higher, you will be refunded the difference to the 70 Euros. Example: You paid 74 euros for a half marathon start in the second contingent. You would then receive a voucher for 70 euros and a refund of 4 euros. For a relay race, the applicant would receive a voucher for 70 euros, the rest would be paid out to the applicant.

You can use this voucher until 31.12.2022 for a registration at one of the Vienna City Marathon events. You would have to pay the possibly missing amount on the current entry fee. The voucher is transferable to another person. After 31.12.2022 an unredeemed voucher will be paid out on demand.

Please note: This voucher regulation only concerns the entry fee. The chip rent, if you have paid it, is not affected. This will be transferred back 100 percent. Also the ordered additional services are not affected by this regulation. We will also refund or provide these at 100 percent.

If you choose the processing according to KuKuSpoSiG, please write to us at office@vienna-marathon.com with your bank details, so that we can carry out this reversal.

Normally the Vienna City Marathon schedule has a lead time of five years, which means that we had already coordinated our planning dates for the VCM until 2025. When setting new date, we had to take into account the needs and availability of the city of Vienna. Vienna is an event city, and there are many other activities besides running events that are now pushing into autumn 2021. We are dependent on the availability of the city and the infrastructure of Vienna. This includes first and foremost the Rathausplatz at the finish area, the availability of an exhibition hall and probably the most important availability - that of a 42 km route. Vienna is constantly on the move and all major road construction measures must be taken into account, including underground railway construction and the corresponding construction phases. The 12th September was the only date that could be worked out together with those responsible in the city.

We are all in an extraordinary situation, and this also applies to the running autumn of 2021. It is expected - hopefully - that there will be more runs in one year than usual, because in Austria and internationally probably more marathons will be moved to autumn.So far there have been several runs and triathlons on many weekends in spring and autumn, including marathons on consecutive weekends in Austria. Everybody could live well with it. The running scene and the need for events are huge.During the VCM pop-up runs several participants told us that they started running during the lockdown in spring and that they now want to participate in competitions. We are convinced that there is room for many running events and that the anticipation of running events where people can run and celebrate together is great.
