The VCM Winterlaufserie is a winter running series held in Austria's capital Wien in preparation for the annual Vienna City Marathon.

The event offers a fine opportunity to set a personal best time over the 5k, 10k, 15k or half marathon distance as the race course is pancake-flat, AIMS-certified and closed to traffic.
