Marathon in Strauss und Braus

Before they start of the Vienna City Marathon, the runners can warm up by waltzing to the strains of the Blue Danube. The goal is 2025 couples swaying in three-quarter time. A world record perhaps? Non-contestants can dance along and then augment the crowd supporting the competitors.
There’ll also be 200 strikingly garbed “Johann Strausses” competing for special prizes in a contest of their own. At various points on the course, waltz music will regale the contestants and make Austria’s biggest active sport event an unforgettable experience.
