Prater Hauptallee, Höhe Meiereistraße, 1020 Wien, Austria
The 15. Tierschutzlauf is scheduled for Sunday 4 October 2026 in Vienna and is organised to benefit Vegane Gesellschaft Österreich. The event name in German, 15. Tierschutzlauf, reflects its focus on animal protection and vegan advocacy while inviting runners of all ages to participate. Proceeds from the event go to campaigns run by the Vegane Gesellschaft Österreich, and the day combines competitive racing with community and awareness objectives.
The race day is staged on the Prater Hauptallee with start and finish at Höhe Meiereistraße, giving a central, flat course through Vienna's Prater. The programme offers a children's Bambinilauf (100 m), a Schüler:innenlauf (850 m), main runs at 5 km and 10 km, and a 5 km Nordic walking category, with AIMS measurement noted for the main run and pacemakers provided for common target times. Organised warm-ups and free preparation runs take place in the weeks leading up to the event, emphasising accessibility for families and recreational runners as well as competitive participants.
