Babenbergerlauf 2012
Vienna (Austria), Sunday 9 September 2012
The Prater Hauptallee—popular with runners all year round.
The Babenbergerlauf in Vienna features a half marathon, a 14k and a 7k run. Like several other running events organized by the athletic club LCC Wien, the races are held on a 7km loop course in the vast Prater park, the favoured training ground for Viennese runners. The course is very flat and fast but each lap includes one turning point as a major part of the race is run out and back the Prater Hauptallee (pictured above), the main avenue through the park. Starting and finishing near the Ernst-Happel-Stadion (Austria's largest football stadium), the route runs through park and woodland, alongside the "Liliputbahn" (pictured below), and past the "Riesenrad", Vienna's famous giant ferris wheel. |
