Langenzersdorf Christmas Marathon - The charity run event before Christmas

The Langenzersdorfer Weihnachtsmarathon - Die Charitylaufveranstaltung vor Weihnachten is a December charity running event held in Langenzersdorf, Austria, organised over a weekend. The event combines multiple races on a compact course and the organisers state that the start fees for the charity runs are donated 100% to the selected Spendenpartner. Participants may opt to add the voluntary "Golden Ribbon" donation at the finish to increase their contribution, and a finisher medal was introduced from 2025. All entrants receive an exclusive Christmas hat as part of the event experience.

Race day features include a Marathon, Halbmarathon, the Rentierlauf (9,590 m), the Elfenlauf (4,795 m) and two children's Wichtellauf races (500 m and 959 m), with packet pickup and on-site registration available the day before and on the race day. Electronic timing is used and on-site food and drink services are provided; the main check-in and start area is listed as Seeschlacht in Langenzersdorf. The schedule gives staggered starts and a flexible "fliegender Start" for the charity marathon, permitting later join-in times on race day. The event emphasises community fundraising, family-friendly races and straightforward logistics for competitors and spectators alike.
