01.03.2022

Everywhere in the city and at any time of the day you see runners in Vienna. One of the reasons is that in every district in Vienna there are places to run and parks of different sizes, which motivate people to be active. The largest sports area is Vienna’s Prater, but the Danube Canal and the Danube Island are also popular areas for running. Regular major events such as the Vienna City Marathon or the Women's Run, each with well over 30,000 participants, account for the additional boom in running in Vienna.

There are now a significant number of sports shops specializing in providing professional advice for runners. There are excellent running shops all over Vienna, from small and familiar to flagship stores of internationally renowned brands. What all shops have in common is that they make running even more enjoyable. And what could be better than coming home with a new sports outfit?

An often underestimated and neglected factor when running are the perfect shoes – perfectly fitted to suit your foot and running style. In Vienna you have a large selection of shops that can find the best shoe for you in different ways. But what they all have in common is years of experience and expertise.
