Oberbank Anton Bruckner Lauf Linz
Sport and culture - constantly linked: Nowhere does this work as well as in Linz, where the Danube lifeline has always set the pace and where Anton Bruckner, Upper Austria's great world-class composer, is also leading the way in many ways on his 200th birthday. Premiere for the Oberbank Anton Bruckner Lauf Linz on November 3, 2024 - register now!
A new symphony will be created in 2024 and where else if not in Upper Austria, where "doing sport" in the varied natural surroundings has developed to become a real mass movement in recent decades. It is also the heart of the marathon "stronghold" and provincial capital of Linz, where the Oberbank 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. This symphony will be one of running and dedicated to Anton Bruckner and his work. The Anton Bruckner running trail will start and finish at the Brucknerhaus Linz.
A symphony of running
The fact that Anton Bruckner, in addition to his groundbreaking musical work and his attachment to the traditions of the Land ob der Enns, also paid particular homage to athletics, is one that has not been passed on. On the occasion of the 200th birthday of Upper Austria's great son, the Anton Bruckner running trail is more of an offer for 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 nine kilometres and acoustic signposts allow the master's musical work to be heard.
The Oberbank Anton Bruckner Lauf Linz will celebrate its grand opening on November 3, 2024. As a fun run for all sports enthusiasts, held according to the rules of the Austrian Athletics Association, the course first runs to the Lentos Art Museum, turns there and continues along the Danube banks to the narrow headland at Winterhafen to the turning point at Spitz (kilometer 3). After crossing the Voest freeway bridge (kilometer 5) to the northern bank of the Danube, the course continues to the Ars Electronica Center (kilometer 7) and back over the New Railway Bridge.
In the "pace zones" at the start of each of the nine kilometres, participants will be greeted by one of Anton Bruckner's impressive symphonies. In addition, ground markings in the design of the anniversary year "Anton Bruckner 2024" point the way to the finish line at the 9.3 kilometre mark at the Brucknerhaus Linz. Once there, all those who finish will receive a special medal and a wholesome snack. The winners will also receive prizes. Women and men will be judged in their respective age groups.
