The Oberbank Linz Danube Marathon has many suitable races to choose from.
Running is proven to be one of the healthiest and most primal sports in the world. Many find it easier to get started by working towards a set goal. The competitions of the Oberbank Linz Danube Marathon on October 24 are ideally suited for this, where a start is possible for everyone thanks to excellent organization and performance-based competitions. Next entry deadline: August 13, 2021.
"First come, first served" also applies to running events. Although last-minute participants can also register on the weekend of the event (as part of the Marathon Expo), it is better to fix your participation now at more favorable conditions.
If the half marathon is still too long for you because you don't have enough running experience and fitness, but the distance to be covered in the marathon relay is too short, there is a suitable alternative at the Linz Danube Marathon: the Linz AG Quarter Marathon. For years it has been the event with the largest number of participants and for many it is also the first step into racing. For those new to running, it is the ideal start. The 10.5 kilometers are easily manageable with the right preparation.
From now on you still have more than nine weeks of training until Upper Austria's biggest running festival. Experts recommend running two to three times a week. The optimal running pace is easy to determine. Conversation with a running partner should be possible without hindrance. Variety in training is also important. Once should be a fast run, once up to 70-minute jogging at a more leisurely pace. More and more young runners are venturing into the quarter-marathon distance. That's not problematic, he said. "For healthy children and young people over the age of twelve, it is actually possible to complete a quarter marathon or part of a relay marathon without any problems after reasonable preparation," says Günther Weidlinger from the Linz Marathon OC team, who also invites runners to the next joint LIVA running meeting next Saturday (meeting point Fitnessoase Parkbad Linz) (advance registration to linzmarathon@liva.linz.at via e-mail required).
