A THANK YOU to our numerous helpers

A THANK YOU to our numerous helpers Without our great staff, the Borealis Linz Danube Marathon would not be where it is today. We would like to thank everyone - who supported our great running event. On 30.4.2015 our LINZ MARATHON THANKS BEAUTIFUL PARTY took place in the Linz Brucknerhaus. We are looking forward to the 15th edition of the Borealis Linz Danube Marathon on SO 3.4.2016.

The 14th Borealis Linz Danube Marathon took place on Sunday under optimal weather conditions and developed into a "marathon of records". A total of more than 19,500 participants ensured an absolute record in the history of the Linz Marathon. And the athletes also set record-breaking times. Andrea Mayr set a new Austrian record in the half marathon, pulverizing her own best time. However, the course record of 2:07.33 hours, set since 2007 by the Ukrainian Alexander Kuzin, could not be broken. Kenyan Anthony Maritiem set a personal best in the marathon event in Linz with 2:09.39.

"Austria's fastest female doctor" the top runner and Upper Austrian Andrea Mayr competed in the half marathon in 2015. She was able to confirm her excellent performance in Linz with a top time of 1:11.34 and 3rd place overall.

Over 19,500 participants registered and tackled the individual events of the 14th Borealis Linz Marathon. This was an absolute record in the history of the Linz Marathon in terms of participants. More than 130,000 spectators cheered on the athletes along the course. In total, athletes from over 90 different nations took to the starting line at the Linz Marathon.
