ÖGK Juniormarathon powered by ORF Radio OÖ, Samstag, 11. April 2026

Junior Marathon, the children's game: For our youngest participants, 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 under the sign of the joy of movement. Not only taking part, but also watching is the real joy.

The junior marathon is limited to 2,000 starting places.

As soon as we have reached this number of registrations, it is no longer possible to register for the junior marathon. Late registrations at the start number collection are not possible.

Mascot run

After the "Minis" competitions, the mascot run will take place at around 12:45 pm.

The Linz Marathon mascot LiMa will be at the starting line together with other mascots from sponsors and partners.

The Linz Danube Marathon is also all about inclusion. As part of the ÖGK Junior Marathon on Saturday, there will be a separate competition for people with disabilities. The Special Olympics Run Linz powered by Hofmann Personal is designed to help participants discover new abilities through the power of sport and perhaps experience previously unimagined successes.
The Special Olympics Run is limited - register quickly to secure your starting place!

Family Party powered by LINZ AG

Kuddelmuddel, a LIVA company, organizes program interludes such as breakdance, juggling and music shows. Children and, of course, adults can also get active with games tables, soccer darts, hacking, airbrushing and many other activities!

A game of chance awaits in the LINZ AG tent, and there are also food trucks with drinks and food, tables and benches as well as a chill-out area with sun loungers - so that bad weather can't even arise.

Arrival

We ask all participants and visitors to travel by public transport. The location at the Neue Eisenbahnbrücke can be easily reached with the Linz Linien using the stops "Donauparkstadion", "Petzoldstraße" or "Schlachthof". It is only a few minutes' walk from the respective stops to the event site.
