Different this time
We are celebrating a festival of health at the Vienna City Marathon on 11 and 12 September. To make this possible at an atmospheric event, we need clear rules.
We have submitted a comprehensive Covid prevention concept for all areas of the Vienna City Marathon to the Viennese authorities with specialist medical support from Dr. Hans-Peter Hutter of MedUni Vienna.
This concept forms the basis for the official approval, which we have received on 27 August. Above all, it forms the basis for all of us to feel enthusiasm, joy and pride in a huge running event again.
Ad
The core point of the concept is:
All runners need a current, negative Covid test to collect their start number, which is valid until the respective start of the race.
- In case of complete vaccination protection: PCR test with 72 hours validity or antigen test 24 hours.
- Without complete vaccination protection: PCR test valid for 48 hours or antigen test valid for 24 hours.
As a large gathering, we have to think about possible future developments in order to offer the greatest possible protection. We know that runners are very health conscious because they want to be fit at the start line, and we count on your willingness to make the event possible in a joint effort.
Of course, the authority decision states that adaptations will have to be made if, at the time of the event, other federal or provincial guidelines are in force than are currently known. However, the already existing regulation of the Ministry of Health for September and the announced changes for the City of Vienna regarding the validity period of tests from 1 September have no impact on the application of the prevention concept and allow the event to take place.
We are very much looking forward to seeing you at the Vienna City Marathon on 11 and 12 September 2021.

- Children up to the age of 6 do not need any tests.
- Tests for self-administration, including those recorded in an official data collection system, are generally not be permitted in Vienna.
- All runners will receive an additional "Alles gurgelt" test kit at the race number distribution, which they can use at any time. We recommend using it around the VCM weekend, also e.g. after the race, as a supplement to the antigen test or for accompanying persons.

Hygiene & Protection
As a participant you will receive these products with your race number:
- 1 pc. Coldamaris plus nasal/pharyngeal spray to moisten the nasal mucosa against the penetration of viruses
- 1 pc. Lysoform Fresh Hands dispenser for hand sanitising
Use these products for general hygiene and for your health. Coldamaris plus forms a protective barrier against cold viruses such as rhino and corona viruses. The application of Coldamaris plus forms a moisturising protective film. The Carragelose® contained in it envelops cold viruses and prevents them from adhering to the mucous membrane. It thus acts like a physical barrier against these viruses. Even though Coldamaris does not completely prevent infection with SARS-CoV-2, it can greatly reduce the risk of infection and virus spread.
Masks
- You do not need a mask during the run or in the area immediately after the finish.
- Put a mask in your clothes bag so that you have a fresh mask for the return journey on public transport after the run.
- We will inform you about specific rules on the use of masks during the event when regulations are available.

Journey to the start
Think about how to get to the start:
by public transport, on foot, by bike or by car (to Park & Ride facilities at the subway U2 in 1220 Vienna).
The WienMobil app for Android and iPhones supports your journey planning.
Diversified subway concept
Use alternative options to the subway U1 line for your journey to the start by public transport and use lines with lower utilization:
- U1 Alte Donau / Kagran
- U6 Floridsdorf & Straßenbahn 25 Kagran
- U2 Donaustadtbrücke & Bus 93A Kagran
A mask must be worn on public transport.
Start: Keep in Flow
- Loose and orderly through crowd management
- More space, time slots, short waiting time
- Enlarged area for the starting line-up in Wagramer Straße of 1.5 km length
- The starting field will be divided into six waves with fixed start times.
- Plan your journey and immediate race preparation so that you are in the start area only for a short time.
- If you want to use the clothes bag transport to the finish, hand in your clothes bag according to the schedule at the truck designated for your start number. Latest drop-off for the 1st starting block is 8:25am, latest drop-off for the last starting block is 8:50am. Put a fresh mask in your cloakroom bag for after the run.
Refreshments

The relay handovers are spaced generously according to number ranges (1-100, 101-200, ...) and clearly marked with signs.
Ad
Finish area

- Instead of shower tents we offer single cabins (20 showers in two containers). These will be set up in the area Rathausplatz / corner Felderstraße on the side of the Rathauspark. We ask for your understanding if there are waiting times.
Audience
- Fewer participants = fewer spectators
- No infrastructure and grandstands for spectators
- Focus on information, infotainment and accompaniment of participants
- Point out to your companions that they should use less frequented places to cheer. There is usually enough space a few minutes' walk from underground stations.
- Increased information and presence of stewards along the route
- We recommend wearing a mask if the distance of 1 m cannot be maintained.

For precautionary reasons there is this time:

VCM Medical Center
The VCM Medical Center at the marathon expo "Vienna Sports World" is a last-minute contact point for acute health problems before the race. The team of sports traumatologists, sports doctors, sports scientists, orthopaedists, internists, physicians and physiotherapists will be at your disposal. The team of sports traumatologists, sports scientists, orthopaedists, internists, physical doctors and physiotherapists under the direction of Dr. Robert Fritz, Sportordination, is available to participants free of charge. This is to minimise possible health risks and to increase safety for the runners.
Friday, 10 September, and Saturday, 11 September, both 10am-7pm.
First aid
The first-aid team of the Arbeiter-Samariter-Bund will be on hand along the course and at the finish line to provide medical assistance. If you need medical help, run or walk to the nearest aid station. If this is not possible, ask another runner to get help. If you see a runner on the course who you think needs help, report it to the nearest aid station or first aid post. Or call the emergency number 144.
Organisational information
Start numbers
Only runners with an official start number of one of the events of the Vienna City Marathon 2021 are allowed to start. The start number is non-transferable. It has to be worn clearly visible on the chest and must not be changed.
For your safety, use the reverse side to provide health-related data and contact details of a reference person.
Timekeeping is done with an RFID chip in the race number. Wearing a start number with an integrated chip is a prerequisite for receiving a result.
Prohibition of passing on start numbers
If you are unable to start for any reason, do not give your race number to anyone else. Remember that your race number is your individual identification document during the race and personal information is attached to it. By sharing your personal race number, you may put another participant in an uncomfortable situation or even in danger in the event of an emergency. Passing on race numbers is deeply unsportsmanlike as it distorts the result of the race. In the case of a proven violation of the ban on passing on bibs, the VCM organisation may ban both runners from future events.
Disqualification
The following will lead to disqualification: Starting under a false name, starting from the wrong starting block, starting from the elite start, changing or not wearing the start number, unsportsmanlike conduct, being accompanied by a vehicle (bicycle, motorbike, motor vehicle, inline skates or other rolling equipment), bypassing the chip timing checkpoints, participation on inline skates or other rolling equipment, participation with animals.
The conditions of participation and the privacy policy of the Vienna City Marathon apply.
Data changes
Data changes or additions are possible on Friday, September 10 and Saturday, September 11, 2021 at the helpdesk at the bib issue. No transfer or passing on of the start number to another person (= name change).
Results & Certificates
The results are available at www.vienna-marathon.comwww.vienna-marathon.com. Your certificate is available as a pdf download in the online results. Please note that small changes in the ranking are still possible in the days after the event.
Medals & medal engraving

We offer the possibility to engrave medals (name + net time) on Saturday and Sunday after the finish. Ordering and payment is done online before the event.
