The Raiffeisen Business Run 2025 set new standards: With a record number of 9.200 runners from 606 companies and employees from 74 nations, Graz's city center became a stage for team spirit and sporting enthusiasm.

At 18:20 p.m. sharp, RLB General Director Martin Schaller and City Councilor Kurt Hohensinner officially opened the 24th Business Run. The five-kilometer route led from Karmeliterplatz across the city center, along Schubertstraße to Hilmteich—and from there back to the new finish line in front of the Burgtor.

The atmosphere along the route was not only created by the cheering spectators, but also by the Antenne DJs who warmed up the runners with music.

After the sporting part, the celebration continued at Karmeliterplatz: At the legendary Business Run Party, people danced, networked and toasted their shared successes.

Andreas Mauerhofer, Managing Director of the event organizer CompanyCode, is enthusiastic:
"Never before have we been able to inspire so many people to take part in the Business Run. It proves once again: With fresh ideas and genuine motivation, great things can be achieved. A big thank you to everyone involved and our partners for their trust and the fantastic collaboration!"

The biggest teams: KNAPP AG (387 runners), Raiffeisen Landesbank Steiermark (332), City of Graz (301), AVL List (243), NXP (179), Austrian Red Cross (173), Siemens Mobility Austria GmbH (168), TU Graz (159), Fresenius Kabi Austria GmbH (154), UNIQA Insurance Group AG (144).
