The International LCC Polar Bear Run Half Marathon III is an event tailored for runners seeking both challenge and precision. Hosted by LCC Vienna, this race utilizes a traditional 7km loop that is fully flat, vehicle-free, and clearly marked at every kilometre. The AIMS-certified course offers options to run 7km, 14km, a half-marathon (three laps), or 28km (four laps), with perfect symmetry at the start and finish. Half marathoners take on three loops, with a slight adjustment on the final lap to complete the official distance; 28km racers repeat the loop four times, turning around at Praterstern each lap. Push yourself in a competitive athletic environment: classic age group rankings are offered for all distances, and elite consistency is rewarded in the Polar Bear Cup standings—your top two half-marathon finishes from the three-race cup series count, with participation in all events and completion of at least two half-marathons required for cup ranking. Finish all three Polar Bear races, at any distance, and you’ll earn a coveted finisher’s medal and a performance shirt. Staying fuelled during the race is a given—hydrate and replenish at on-course stations with water, isotonic drinks, and bananas, and recover at the finish line with tea, water, fresh fruit, wafers, and energy bars. This is your chance to race hard, test your limits, and join a dedicated community of athletes.
