Run against cancer: Register now for the virtual charity run!

Niederösterreich, Österreich - from 1st to 4th May 2025, the virtual charity run "run against cancer" takes place in Lower Austria. As OTS , participants from all over the world can take part in the event by running or walking. So far, over 3,500 adults and more than 23,500 children have already registered, which underlines the popularity of this event.

The distance options are diverse: the participants can choose between 2.5 km, 5 km, 10 km and half marathon (21 km). For the youngest runners there is a special children's run over 1,000 meters for children from the year 2010 and younger. In addition, a school challenge is offered from April 22nd to May 2, in which students can actively participate. It can be expected that, as in the past year, a considerable amount will be donated. The record amount of 141,129.44 euros in 2024 is considered a challenge for this year's event.

donations and support

The income of the run will go to the Lower Austria Cancer Aid and the Stem Cell Initiative of the Austrian Red Cross. Cancer aid focuses on provision, early detection, advice and support from those affected. The donation is distributed evenly to both organizations. The cost of typing is around 40 euros that go directly to the Red Cross.

Interested parties can choose between different registrations. The basic package costs 16 euros, the comfort package 26 euros and the premium package 36 euros.
