Blaufränkischland Marathon

The Blaufränkischland Marathon is an autumn running and walking event in Deutschkreutz, Burgenland, Austria. It crosses the hilly wine country of Mittelburgenland, guided by its motto: “Enjoyment and fun all the way!” Participants can select the full marathon, half marathon, quarter marathon, or a 5.7 km family route. This makes the day suitable for club runners, walkers, families, and individuals prioritizing the event experience over speed. The course includes standard aid stations alongside up to 13 “enjoyment stations,” varying with the chosen distance. These stops offer regional snacks, fruit, treats, and wine tastings from local Blaufränkischland vintners, occasionally hosted at wineries or directly within vineyards. The event is relatively new, with only a few editions held so far. Its focus is clear: physical activity, local wine, food, and shared time on the course are valued more than achieving a personal best.
