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.
