Start/Finish: The start is located on the Prater Hauptallee at the junction of Marathonweg/Stadionbadparkplatz into the Hauptallee, see also route map.
Course: The race follows the traditional 7km loop, which is completely flat, free of private vehicles, and marked with kilometer markers. The course has been officially measured by AIMS (Association of International Marathons and Road Races).
In the half marathon, the circuit is run three times; in the third lap, the turnaround point is moved by the missing 97 meters. The start and finish are therefore the same. In the 28km distance, the 7km loop is run four times, with the first turnaround point at Praterstern each time.

Traditional age group classification for half marathon, 14km, 28km and 7km run
Cup standings: The two best half-marathon results from the three-part cup series count towards the Polar Bear Cup standings. Participants must have started in all three Polar Bear races and finished at least two half-marathons to be included in the cup standings.
