Just as diverse as Switzerland and its landscapes, the country’s fun runs offer a wide variety of experiences that you should definitely add to your running calendar. What makes this small country in the heart of Europe so special is its four linguistic regions, where German, Italian, French, and Romansh are spoken. The same diversity can be found in the many fun runs listed in our Swiss Fun Run Calendar.
Here is a selection of some of the most well-known fun runs from our Fun Run Calendar for Switzerland:
As part of the Lucerne Marathon, this major event hosts over 10,000 participants each year, offering stunning fun runs. What makes these runs unique is the combination of urban and nature routes, as Lucerne is beautifully situated on Lake Lucerne. The 10 km fun runs are designated as a charity event under the motto "10 km for UNICEF." This means that participating is twice as meaningful: once for you as an athlete doing what you love, and once for UNICEF, as all participation fees are donated to the children’s charity.
An incredible 13,000 people take part in this major event each year. All races, including the fun runs, contribute to a fundraising initiative supporting UNICEF. Since Geneva is one of the most beautiful cities in Switzerland, you can imagine how picturesque the fun runs along Lake Geneva and through Geneva’s old town must be.
As the name suggests, this race takes participants through three different countries and requires official approvals from all three before it can take place. As you might guess, this is no easy feat. The three countries involved are Switzerland, Germany, and France, with the course passing through Basel (Switzerland), Saint-Louis (France), and Weil am Rhein (Germany). Given its unique location, you can imagine how impressive the run along the Rhine River is and how many bridges must be crossed.
