Wien Rundumadum

Q: How hard is the Wien Rundumadum 130km? | A: Moderate by 130km ultra standards. The course covers 130km with only 1,880m gain (~14.5m/km), 45% flat terrain, and barely 2km above 20% gradient. The biggest climb rises 325m over 8.13km at 4.0% average. Distance-weighted gradients are 8.14% uphill and 6.92% downhill. The challenge is sustained effort, November overnight conditions (near-freezing, foggy), and 25 hours of cumulative fatigue — not technical mountain terrain.

Q: What makes the Wien Rundumadum unique among European ultras? | A: It is a complete loop of Vienna's greenbelt — 24 stages through forests, vineyards, parks, and urban paths. Every one of the 24 stage checkpoints is accessible by public transport, making crew support and spectating uniquely easy. A relay option allows teams of 2–6 runners. The race has been studied by NIH/PMC cardiac researchers (2024).

Q: How much does the Wien Rundumadum 130km cost? | A: €130 from January 1 to May 31, 2026; €150 from June 6 to November 1. A mandatory GPS tracker rental of €15 is paid in cash at check-in. Late registration on-site is possible if slots remain (+€20). Register at my.raceresult.com/370736/registration.
