ÖGK Junior Marathon powered by Radio OÖ

The Junior Marathon takes place the day before the 23. Oberbank Linz Danube Marathon at the new railroad bridge, on Samstag, 12. April 2025.

Junior Marathon, the children's game:

For our youngest runners, it's not a best time that counts, but the Olympic motto "Faster, Higher, Stronger, Together". Quite a few participants later find their way from the junior marathon to the races of the "big ones". The children's game on the day before the marathon Sunday is a family festival dedicated to the joy of movement. Not only taking part, but also watching is the real joy. Our mascots will also be working up a sweat again and will be on the running course at the MascotRun!

Fair play:

We ensure respectful interaction with each other both on and off the course. Safety, equal opportunities and fair play are our top priorities!

Green Event

Green Event Logo

The Oberbank Linz Danube Marathon has always paid special attention to the responsible use of resources and environmental protection aspects. Since the previous year, all areas of the organization have also been professionally monitored and continuously examined for sustainability. As an interim result, many aspects were already noticeably rethought for participants in 2023. In 2024, the goal is to organize the competitions according to the criteria of the Austrian Eco-Label for Green Events.

For a successful implementation, we also rely on the support of our participants and ask them to make an active contribution. Whether it is to arrive publicly, or to pay attention to the correct waste separation.
