Wien Rundumadum 88km is a greenbelt loop ultra tracing the official Rundumadum trail through Vienna, Austria -- 88km through forests, hills, vineyards, canals, and parks of the city's greenbelt. At 88km with 1,600m of gain (18.2 m/km), this is among the most runnable 80km+ ultras in the DTR database. Not defined by mountain climbing but by sustained effort and conditions: a very gentle average downhill gradient (rank 58/390 in the DTR database -- near the gentlest in the catalogue), extremely low elevation density (rank 331/390), and substantial flat terrain.
This is a city runner's 88km, not a mountain runner's. All stage checkpoints are accessible by Vienna public transport -- unique for any ultra. A mandatory GPS tracker rental (€15 cash at check-in) is required. November in Vienna brings cold overnight conditions, near-freezing temperatures, fog, and rain -- thermal and waterproof gear are essential. Founded in 2014 by Verein Mehrkampf Team Austria. Vienna International Airport (VIE) is 23 minutes from the race hub. Entry fee and time limit: verify at wien-rundumadum.at.

The Wien Rundumadum 88km is one of the four solo distances offered at the Wien Rundumadum event (alongside 130km, 61km, and 42km), tracing the official Rundumadum trail through Vienna's greenbelt -- 88km of forests, hills, vineyards, canals, and parks circling the Austrian capital. 'Rundumadum' is Viennese dialect for 'all around.' The event is organised by Verein Mehrkampf Team Austria (founded 2014) and takes place in November 2026. All stage checkpoints are accessible by Vienna public transport -- unique for an ultra of this distance.
Accessible by gradient standards, but demanding through distance and November conditions. The course covers 88km with only 1,600m of gain (~18.2 m/km) and ranks 58/~390 in the DTR database for average downhill steepness (near the gentlest in the catalogue). There is no sustained alpine climbing. The challenge is sustained effort over 88km, cold overnight temperatures (potentially near-freezing), fog, and rain. Thermal and waterproof gear are essential. Runners with a strong marathon base and some trail experience are the primary target; specialist mountain climbing fitness is not required.
The 2026 event runs November 7–8, 2026. The 130km distance starts at 05:30 on November 7; the 88km start time should be verified at wien-rundumadum.at before booking travel, as shorter distances typically start later. November in Vienna means cold nights (near-freezing possible), fog, and damp conditions -- preparation for overnight running in cold and wet is essential.
Entry fee for the 88km distance should be verified at wien-rundumadum.at -- the 130km entry was €130 (Jan–May 2026) / €150 (Jun–Nov 2026). A mandatory GPS tracker rental of €15 is paid in cash at check-in for all distances. Late on-site registration is possible if slots remain. Register at my.raceresult.com/370736/registration.
Vienna International Airport (VIE) is approximately 23 minutes from the race hub at Sportcenter Donaucity (UNO-City) -- this is not classified as FAR. Public transport from VIE to the start is excellent, and Vienna has strong accommodation across all price points. A notable feature of this race: all stage checkpoints are accessible by Vienna public transport, so crew and spectators can follow the race without a car -- rare for any ultra.
