"It runs well with God!" is the motto of the marathon service on the eve of the Linz Marathon.
On Saturday, April 6, 2024, a special church service will take place in the Ursuline Church from 18:00 on the occasion of the Linz Marathon. All runners, fans, organizers and interested parties are invited to celebrate together, bring their thoughts to God in prayers and songs and be blessed.
As a spiritual refreshment station, the celebration offers all athletes the opportunity to replenish their energy stores for body, soul and spirit - the final touch, so to speak, for holistic preparation for the upcoming race. Running is often perceived as a metaphor for life or one's own path through life. For many runners, it is helpful to clear their heads, think about their own lives and reflect. Michael Münzner, who has been a marathon runner himself for many years, will lead the service.
The marathon service is offered by the Catholic Church in Upper Austria.
