Merkur Viennathlon 2026

The Merkur Viennathlon 2026 is the Vienna edition of the Beat the City obstacle-run series and is presented by the Beat the City organisers in cooperation with Merkur/Krone. The event is scheduled for 26 September 2026 on the Donauinsel (Floridsdorferbrücke area) and offers both a shorter and a longer obstacle run format, plus a dedicated junior race. Race options include a 5+ km course with 10+ obstacles and a 10+ km course with 20+ obstacles, while the Junior Viennathlon is listed at around 2.5 km with roughly ten obstacles. Registration is run via the linked MaxFun registration pages and the event forms the Vienna leg and potential finale for the Beat the City series scoring (beat the city-Wertung).

The event page highlights team options, start-block waves, and series incentives for athletes who attend multiple Beat the City editions across Linz, Graz and Innsbruck. The course is run on Donauinsel with typical Beat the City obstacles and wave-based starts; the organiser provides on-line registration guidance and participant policies on the official event pages. Contact for the series/organiser is [email protected] and the official event hub is maintained on beatthecity.at with English pages available. Practical details such as timing chips, start-block assignment and junior entries are published on the Vienna-specific pages and on the official registration platform.
