There are two 21,1 km laps to run at the Salzburg Marathon. The course has a maximum vertical drop of 10 metres. The course takes the participants out of the historical city to the south of Salzburg, passing by castles and beautiful lakes and nearly all off the sightseeing highlights of Mozarts baroque home town.

Most of the course is asphalt. Only a little part is not, but it has been prepared for the event. Our participants told us that the whole course – including the non-asphalt part – is pretty fast and very attractive, as it offers a new view on this wonderful city.
