The first day at the SportMall

The exhibitors, the start number collection for the competitions of the Running Festival in the City of Mozart, the late registration option and many runners who stroll through the Volksgarten Ice Arena and find out about new trends, exciting offers and attractive products and services. This is the SportMall@Salzburg Marathon, which opened its doors punctually on Friday at 1 p.m. "There was a lot of excitement about organizing a trade fair after a three-year break," says Philipp Sturm, who is responsible for the SportMall. "But it was already clear with the first visitors and the motivated exhibitors - this warming-up experience before the run was missing."

Numerous runners, especially the participants in the evening Salzburg Women's Run, picked up their starting documents for the weekend, snagged a bargain or two at the exhibitor stands, spent exciting minutes listening to the stage program or watched the highlight video of the Salzburg Marathon on the video cube high above their heads.
