The WKO-Business Race, set for Thursday, September 2, 2026, at TipsArena Linz, is an exclusive event designed to bring together business professionals from Upper Austria. Open to all entrepreneurs and their employees, this race encourages team-building among colleagues in groups of three runners. Participants must be actively employed by the company they represent as of the day of the race; any discrepancies will result in disqualification. The focus here is on camaraderie rather than competition, making it an ideal event for casual runners looking to connect with others and enjoy a fun-filled evening. The 4.6 km course begins at TipsArena Linz's parking lot where teams start simultaneously. Runners proceed along scenic routes that wind through the city’s streets, including Ziegeleistraße, Roseggerstraße-Leondinger Straße, Holzheimer Straße, Heumaderweg, Helmhartweg, and more before returning to the starting point. The race promises a lively atmosphere with musical entertainment adding to the festive mood. Teams can look forward to enjoying post-race festivities while also competing for exciting prizes. Registration opens on June 16, 2026, at 8:00 AM, allowing businesses to secure their spots early. Companies registering fewer than five teams must use the online platform Time2Win, where they’ll need to provide essential details such as names and email addresses. For larger groups of 5 or more teams, interested companies can request a registration code via wko-businesslauf@liva.linz.at. It's important for all businesses to note that there is an upper limit of 20 teams per company and the total number of participants cannot exceed 2,550. With its emphasis on teamwork and fun, this event offers more than just a race—it’s a celebration of community spirit among business professionals in Upper Austria.

It is the capital of the federal province of Upper Austria (Oberösterreich) and forms the heart of Austria's second strongest economic region.
