Top prepared with the fresh gold medal winner of the European Championships 2022 and two Austrian running legends on January 26, 2023 at the Oberbank Donau Forum Linz!
Two decades of the Linz Marathon are celebrated with a new course record. In the supreme discipline of the marathon, the best time of Ukrainian Alexander Kuzin from 2007 (2:07:33) is pulverized six times after 15 years. The winner Fikre Bekele from Ethiopia reached the finish line in a sensational top time of 2:06:13 and is thus the new record holder in Linz. Optimal running conditions made for a perfect running festival. Despite the new record times, Linz wants to remain a marathon for the masses and continue to impress with its high quality.
For the second time, the young athletes showed great joy and ambition at the LIVA Sportpark Lissfeld. The Junior Marathon was the prelude to an exciting marathon weekend in 2022, with the focus on the fun of movement for the „Minis“ at the ÖGK Junior Marathon powered by ORF Radio OÖ.
