Participants in the Wiener Halbmarathon ("Vienna Half Marathon") run three laps around the northern part of the Alte Donau (pictured).

The "Old Danube" was a section of the Danube before major river engineering works were carried out in Vienna in the 1870s. These days, it's a lake and a popular recreational area in the north-eastern part of Austria's capital Wien.

In addition to the half marathon, the event offers a 7km run (one lap), a 14km run (two laps), a half marathon relay for teams of three runners (3x7km), children's races and a 7km race for nordic walkers.

Last year, approximately 500 runners took part in the 7km run. The 14km race drew about 350 runners. More than 1,000 completed the half marathon.
