Marathon

€80

Full marathon (42.195 km) entry, current pricing tier via the official MaxFun Sports registration platform. Fees are staggered and rise as the September 29, 2026 online registration deadline approaches; an official PDF fee table exists on the race site but was not reachable via static fetch (404 on the linked path), so this reflects the live current-tier price rather than the full tier schedule.

The Lowdown

The Graz Marathon is Austria's autumn city marathon, run on an AIMS-measured 42.195 km course that starts and finishes at the Opernring by the Graz Opera, at the foot of the Schlossberg, and loops through the historic squares and inner city of the Styrian capital. Currently branded the 'Kleine Zeitung Graz Marathon' after its long-running title sponsor, the regional newspaper Kleine Zeitung, the event anchors a three-day family running festival (October 9-11, 2026) headquartered at Hervis CityPark, alongside a half marathon, quarter marathon, 5K, a Hyundai-sponsored marathon relay, and children's races (Bambini Sprint, Junior Marathon).
