Where, if not in Upper Austria, where "sporting" through the diverse natural landscapes has developed into a real mass movement in recent decades, and in the middle of the marathon "stronghold" and provincial capital Linz, where the Linz Danube Marathon attracts up to 20,000 ambitious amateur runners from 80 nations to the spectacular start in the middle of the Voest highway bridge once a year, a new symphony will be created in 2024. One of running, dedicated to Anton Bruckner and his work. The Anton Bruckner running course with start at the Old Cathedral and finish at the Brucknerhaus Linz!

It is not known that Bruckner, in addition to his groundbreaking musical work and his attachment to tradition in the Land ob der Enns, would have paid particular homage to physical training and fitness. On the 200th birthday of Upper Austria's great son, the Anton Bruckner running route is therefore more of an offer to the current generation. At the same time, however, it also invites you to rediscover the work of the famous composer: Based on the number of Bruckner symphonies, the distance is exactly nine kilometers, ground markings with the symbol of the anniversary "Anton Bruckner 2024" mark the course, acoustic signposts make the master's musical work resound.

The 1st Anton Bruckner Lauf on September 15, 2024 will be the opening ceremony. As a fun run for all sports enthusiasts, held according to the rules of the Austrian Athletics Association, finishers can expect a special medal and a full refreshment bar in the start/finish area. The winners will also receive honorary prizes. After the competition, the Anton Bruckner running track will be opened to the public as a unique, freely usable, permanent "symphony of running".
