"World Record Achieved": 2,025 Couples Danced the Waltz at the Vienna Marathon
In cooperation with the Johann Strauss Year 2025, the goal was to get at least 2,025 couples to waltz in freezing temperatures on Sunday morning. "The world record has been achieved," it was announced in the afternoon to the APA.
Waltz Record Broken at Vienna City Marathon 2025
The previous waltz world record was set in 2013 in Dresden, where 1,966 couples danced to the Swan Lake Waltz. This record has now been surpassed with the Blue Danube Waltz. In addition to participants of the Vienna City Marathon, 200 people running specifically for the anniversary year, as well as 200 professional dancers and dance students from the Kraml dance school, also danced.
Meanwhile, star percussionist Martin Grubinger was unable to complete his planned marathon run due to health reasons. How many couples participated in total was not disclosed on Sunday. After reaching the target of 2,025 couples, no further count was made.
