In the centre of the ‘marathon stronghold’ and Upper Austrian capital Linz, a new symphony will be created in 2024, one of running, dedicated to Anton Bruckner and his work: the Anton Bruckner Run with start and finish at the Brucknerhaus Linz! The 1st Anton Bruckner Run on 3 November - a fun run for all sports enthusiasts - will be held in accordance with the rules of the Austrian Athletics Association.

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 Oberbank Linz Donau 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 and finish at the Brucknerhaus Linz.
It is not known that Bruckner was particularly fond of athletics in addition to his groundbreaking musical work and his attachment to tradition in the Land ob der Enns. On the 200th birthday of Upper Austria's great son, the Anton Bruckner running track is 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 nine kilometers and acoustic signposts allow the master's musical work to be heard.
