Let's run there Wachau | Brooks Running

Where Performance Meets Panorama

With Brooks, your experience begins long before the starting gun and ends far beyond the finish line: from race number distribution to the Test & Try Area to the Cheering Zone along the route. At the Expo in Vienna and at the Brooks Hub, we create space for encounters, personal advice, and a joint warm-up during the Shake-Out Run. Thousands of runners pursue a common goal and transform the region into a lively running experience. Energetic Cheering Zones, emotional finishes, and genuine goosebump moments included.

Whether it's a personal best or a personal milestone, it's all about exercise, health, and the unforgettable feeling of being part of something bigger.

WACHAUmarathon by Brooks 2026 – It's a Wrap!

Whether it was your first marathon, a new personal best, or simply a run shared with friends, the WACHAUmarathon by Brooks offered something for everyone. From the excitement before the start line to the final steps across the finish, the marathon weekend became a shared journey filled with emotion. There was plenty to celebrate on the course as well, including a new women's half marathon course record, countless personal bests, and outstanding performances across all race distances.

Most of all, it was the people who made this weekend so special. The runners on the course, the supporters lining the streets, the volunteers, and the entire community came together to create an unforgettable atmosphere. Thank you to everyone who made the WACHAUmarathon by Brooks 2026 such a special experience through your energy, support, and all those goosebump-worthy moments.

Thank you, Wachau. See you next year. Let's Run There!
