SALZBURG: Great weather, record crowds, thousands of satisfied runners - this is how the Salzburg Marathon 2026 ended. Here is a colourful selection of pictures from the course to cheering signs such as „Digga run, we have a parking ticket“, „Let's go dad“ or just before the finish line „Turning around would be stupid now“.
In 2026, the same aces are at the top of the podium in the men's and women's competitions. Lukas Hollaus in the men's competition and Eva Wutti in the women's competition repeated their victory from the previous year at the Salzburg Marathon, the highlight of the running festival. It was an emotional triumph for the man from Salzburg.
Last year's winners Lukas Hollaus and Eva Wutti also won this year's edition of the Salzburg Marathon on Sunday. A total of thousands of runners took part in various competitions.
Running is booming! This can be seen not least in the number of registrations for the Salzburg Marathon on Sunday. 2500 people will set off from the Staatsbrücke on a huge sporting challenge. Most of them are overcoming this challenge for the first time. For them, it's a hobby. But what is it like to run for a living? Three (ex-)professionals know.
Thousands of runners will line up at the start of the Salzburg Marathon tomorrow, Sunday. The weather is expected to be less uncomfortable than in the past few days, according to the forecast. Drivers can expect delays. The traffic restrictions will last until 3 pm.
Road closures, diversions, changed timetables and public transport routes - the Salzburg Marathon next Sunday will once again severely restrict public and private transport in the city of Salzburg. However, the focus will be on running anyway.
The RunAustria club trains runners of all kinds. Club figurehead Eva Wutti won the Salzburg Marathon in 2025. In summer 2026, President Johannes Langer will be focussing on the next generation.
This weekend, the city of Salzburg will become a major sporting stage - but for motorists and neighbours, the 23rd Salzburg Marathon means massive tests of patience. While thousands of runners conquer the city, far-reaching closures from Nonntal to the Staatsbrücke bridge bring private transport to a standstill.
The start and finish of the marathon are in Salzburg city centre: the starting signal is given on the Staatsbrücke, the finish of all competitions is at Max-Reinhardt-Platz. SALZBURG: Next Sunday, 17 May 2026, Salzburg will once again be transformed into an international centre of running: the Salzburg Marathon will bring running enthusiasts from 100 nations to Salzburg under the motto "Running Festival of the City of Mozart".
It's getting sporty in the city of Salzburg on Sunday: the 23rd Salzburg Marathon is coming up. For car drivers and neighbours, this also means gritting your teeth, as there will be road closures and disruptions.
