Salty Sports ‘Run Your Town’ Marathon Weekend in Vienna

Hey Salty Fam!
What a rollercoaster of emotions these past few days have been! In this episode of the Salty Sports Weekly we’ll highlight all the good stuff of the Salty Sports ‘Run Your Town’ Marathon Weekend in Vienna.
PULLING TOGETHER THE EVENTS
Planning an event always has its surprises, but this one was just something else! We had everything set for a shakeout run and an afterparty during marathon weekend. However, we only nailed down the café location a week before the event. Then, to add a bit of drama on the morning of the shakeout run, we discovered our brand-new megaphone was battery-less—talk about a silent start! Despite these hiccups, the team pulled together fantastically, making the event come alive just time. Huge thanks to everyone who hustled and made it happen—you're the real champions!
SHAKEOUT RUN VIENNA - RAIN OR SHINE
Even the rainy weather in Vienna that day couldn’t stop us! Our Shakeout Run was a testament to the passion and resilience of the Salty Sports community. DJ Serafin made sure that the people that didn't already see the big group of people running, heard us!
A big shout-out to everyone who showed up and made this run a very special one.
MARATHON MADNESS
Race day brought out the best in our runners! Countless runners from our community had their debut appearance and absolutely smashed it. Ross, good friend of the team, smashed a sub 2:50h marathon despite being sick the days prior. Like whaaat! The legends Domi and Lukas finished their marathon in well under 3-hours & the rest of the team crushed it as well.🚀
