The best running groups
Early birds instead of late sleepers!
Many runners take advantage of the early morning hours, especially in the summer months. Vienna's lush green oases are particularly beautiful in the cool morning air.

The running group meets every Thursday at 6:30 a.m. in front of the Meidlinger Tor to run up to the Gloriette in mountain intervals. In addition, there is a different theme on the programme every week.
