Together with Johann Strauss 2025 Wien, the Vienna City Marathon is celebrating the 200th birthday of the Waltz King.
That's why we are launching an exclusive category: The Johann Strauss ranking. Among the marathon runners of VCM, 200 'Johann Strausses' will compete in a specially designed Strauss jersey and celebrate the jubilarian.
Exceptional prizes await the fastest finishers in this category, including a refund of the entry fee, tickets for Johann Strauss 2025 Wien and exclusive special offers centred around Johann Strauss and Vienna as a city of music.
Join the Strauss team and tell us why exactly you want to run through Vienna as Johann or Joanna Strauss at the VCM.

You will receive your Johann Strauss jersey at the race number distribution point (Vienna Sports World, Marx Halle, 1030 Vienna). Make sure that it is clearly visible at all times during the run. Ideally, you should wear black running trousers.
If you want to really stand out as a Strauss runner, add a Johann Strauss moustache to your jersey or dress up completely as the Waltz King - maybe you'll run even faster!
We look forward to seeing you!
