Recurring Half Marathon races near Sopron
Races that repeat — weekly, monthly or yearly
Wienerwald Ultra Trail
The Wienerwald Ultra Trail begins in Purkersdorf, located at the edge of the Vienna Woods in Austria. Its motto is “Courage for WUT,” and the event focuses on trail running, offering five race choices from short children’s runs to a 100 km ultra.
The 100 km Double-WUT covers 3,760 meters of elevation gain across two 50 km circuits. Participants may also select the 50 km Single-WUT or the 21.4 km Speed-Trail. The Kids-Run features distances between 400 and 1,600 meters. Nordic walkers are permitted on all distances, and the event draws participants from up to 20 countries.
Gloggnitzer Innenstadtlauf
The Gloggnitzer Innenstadtlauf takes place in Gloggnitz on an October day, with the town serving as both the location and organizer. It is structured as a local city run, offering multiple events: an 8 km race, an 8 km relay, a 5.6 km Nordic-walking competition, and races for children and students.
The older event information indicates Sparkassenplatz as the start area, with all competitions beginning and ending in Gloggnitz. The Nordic-walking course is flat, making it accessible for both walkers and runners. Registration details have varied; hightech-timing.com has been used for online entry in some listings, and that site has not always featured an online payment option.
Baumit Piestingtallauf
The Baumit Piestingtallauf is a running event in Waldegg an der Piesting, Austria, offering races for various ages and paces. The schedule features a half marathon, 10-kilometer run, 5-kilometer run, and children's races, serving as both a local race day and a significant regional competition. It takes place in October, with Baumit as the title sponsor.
Recent events have attracted strong participation, with approximately 1,200 to nearly 1,500 runners and participants from about 18 to 20 nations. The event publishes results, maintains a hall of fame, and posts race photos online. Its own descriptions have referred to it as a "Lauf der Superlative" and a race festival with strong participation, accurately reflecting the event's scale.
Írottkő Hegyi Futóverseny
Around Írottkő, this is a mountain running race focused on trails. The base at Kincs pihenő provides a secluded setting in the hills, and Írottkő Hegyi Futóverseny maintains a straightforward format: a challenging outdoor day with several routes extending into the ultra distances.
Climbing is a key element, with the stated elevation gain suggesting a pace set by effort rather than pride. The participants tend to be trail and ultra runners, appealing to those who enjoy long dirt miles, early starts, and a finish that feels genuinely accomplished.
Leopoldilauf des LCC Wien
The Leopoldilauf, organized by LCC Wien, is an annual road race in Vienna’s Wiener Prater. It honors Saint Leopold III, the patron saint of Vienna and Austria. Participants can select from 7 km, 14 km, or a 21.1 km half marathon. All distances use the same flat park loop: one lap for 7 km, two for 14 km, and three for the half marathon. The final half-marathon lap is slightly longer than the first two.
The route begins and ends on Prater Hauptallee, near Marathonweg and the Stadionbad car park. Approximately five kilometers of each lap follow the main avenue through the park. Each lap features a U-turn near the Wiener Riesenrad in the Wurstelprater amusement area, meaning runners pass a well-known Vienna landmark multiple times. The course is traffic-free, marked with kilometer signs and blue ground markings. The half marathon holds AIMS certification. LCC Wien manages the race, records net times via chip, awards finisher medals for all distances, and provides access to showers at its Ernst-Happel-Stadion club premises.
Klosterneuburger Adventlauf
The Klosterneuburg Advent Run begins and ends at Happyland in Klosterneuburg, Austria, in late November as the Advent season commences. ULC Klosterneuburg organizes this local road race, offering several participation options: a main race, a hobby run, Nordic walking, an inclusion run, and a 3-person team run. The primary 10 km event awards cash prizes to the top male and female finishers, with additional local awards for the fastest Klosterneuburg residents or club members.
The event fosters community engagement beyond the competition. Proceeds from entries benefit ULC youth programs, individuals with intellectual disabilities in Klosterneuburg, and children and teenagers facing hardship. All participants receive a starter bag. Awards are linked to social initiatives: finisher medals are crafted by the Bulgarian organization “Ein Zuhause für Straßenkindern,” and trophies for the hobby and main races are made by clients of Klosterneuburg's disability support services. Participants in the 3-person team run are automatically entered into the hobby run without additional charge.
Langenzersdorfer Weihnachtsmarathon
The Langenzersdorfer Weihnachtsmarathon is a charity run in Langenzersdorf, Austria, held just before Christmas in a recreation area near Vienna. Its unique feature is the lap: each main race uses the same 959-meter circuit. Consequently, the marathon covers 44 laps, the half marathon 22 laps, the 10 km race 10 laps, and the 5 km race 5 laps. A Wichtellauf for children and young runners is also offered, with either one full lap or a 400-meter option.
The course is measured around a bathing pond using GPS and GLONASS. It has minimal elevation gain and typically little wind, making the day about maintaining a steady rhythm rather than navigating dramatic terrain. The organizers present it as a straightforward pre-holiday challenge: no added spectacle, just runners, laps, and a set distance. SPORTUNION Sunlit Actions Langenzersdorf organizes the event. A portion of every entry fee goes to a donation partner selected by the runner, all Charity Run entry fees are donated, and sponsors can match donations.
Marathon de Bratislava
The Marathon de Bratislava offers a full marathon, half marathon, 10 km race, 4.2 km walk, and children’s races in Slovakia’s capital during April. The primary road distances are standard city races: 42.195 km for the marathon and 21.098 km for the half marathon. Both the marathon and half marathon are available as solo runs or relays, accommodating both individuals aiming for the full distance and teams wishing to share the effort.
The course crosses Bratislava using single-loop paths, with the Danube River serving as a prominent landmark. The marathon, half marathon, 10 km, walk, and junior events are all part of the capital-city race structure, featuring urban streets and significant monuments along the way. This event is among Slovakia’s larger running competitions, and its variety of distances allows marathoners, half-marathoners, 10 km runners, walkers, relay teams, and children to participate in the same race weekend.

About Half Marathon races in Sopron
Sopron Base Miles
Sopron hosts 15 Half Marathon races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.
Locals keep running close to the woods, then stretch the legs toward Brennbergbánya and the Sopron Mountains when Z2 needs bite. Erzsébet kert works as an easy city-centre reset before forest-road miles. The route covers 9km with +800m ascent. Extreme Burgenland felkészítő 30km feels like proper trail work on marked forest paths and public roads. Harmadik kékfrankos maraton sends the fun crowd through vineyards. Soproni VSE is the club name to know. Neusiedler See Marathon 2026 gives the flat PB option near the lake.
Locals ride the border country because Sopron gives you quiet roads, bike paths, vineyards, and climbs without making a drama of it. The Neusiedler See cycle path runs 5 km, and its Hungarian section carries 38 km around Fertő. The western section between Balf and Oggau is dotted with upward slopes, so the legs get honest fast. Sopron toward Fertőrákos gives a more difficult ascending section back toward B10. Villtek országúti teljesítménytúra brings a 60 km road day. Karos Spa Kis-Balaton kerülő and Szabadics Ride both use 33 km formats. Lövér MTB nature trail gives 10 kilometers for MTB legs.
May, August, September, and October are the best months here because the city lets you stack base miles without fighting the season. June belongs to Sopron Trail when the Sopron Mountains turn into the anchor running test. August finishes well because the Ferenc Liszt cycling tour rolls on the last Sunday and covers 25 km through Harka, Neckenmarkt, and Raiding. Summer riders use B10, B12, B14, and the Fertő roads for steady work. Winter changes the rhythm, but Lake Neusiedl cycle track stays appropriate for cycling all around the year. January-minded runners use Extreme Burgenland felkészítő 30km as the local long effort.
