Erste Bank Vienna Night Run

The Erste Bank Vienna Night Run is a 5 km night race on Vienna’s Ringstrasse, first held in 2007. It focuses on running together after dark rather than competitive times, with the city’s grand ring road and landmark buildings providing the setting. Runners complete one lap of the Ringstrasse, starting near Burgring and the Natural History Museum and finishing near Opernring by the Goethe Monument. The start and finish area is at the Heldenplatz stage, offering food, cloakrooms, changing facilities, and a company zone. The starter pack includes an Erste Bank bag, voucher booklet, and long-sleeved race shirt; participants who opt out of the shirt contribute to planting another mangrove tree.
