About the Venue

Prater Park

Prater Park is a large public park frequented by the Viennese for recreational activities, easily accessible from the center of Vienna by multiple U-Bahn stations. The park welcomes runners, walkers, cyclists and horseback riders in the mixed woodlands, meadows and exercise paths. Emperor Joseph II granted public access to Prater in 1766.

Course Description

Participants will gather at the Rotundenplatz on Kaiserallee, located just outside the Vienna University of Economics and Business campus. The first kilometer of the course winds through the campus and then continues on the south perimeter of the university. Passing through the Rotundenplatz again, the course reenters Prater Park on Kaiserallee. The course takes a right turn onto Hauptallee, the chestnut tree lined avenue in the heart of Prater Park. Participants will briefly exit Hauptallee for a circuit around Konstantiech pond before rejoining Hauptallee again. Continuing down Hauptallee, the course turns right towards Riesenradplatz and then returns to Hauptallee. Participants will continue directly on Hauptallee, taking a final left turn onto Kaiserallee and proceed towards the finish at Rotundenplatz.
