After being rerouted through the Uetliberg tunnel in 2009, the 42.195 km race will once again take place on its original route along Zürich’s lakefront. The beautifully varied route has almost no ascents, with less than 30 metres of climbing, making possible fast race times.Spectators and athletes can expect numerous festivities in the lakeside towns, as well as a large marquee and a children’s paradise in the Landiwiese meadow.
Zurich’s picturesque lakeside, its charming old town and exclusive Bahnhofstrasse are still in the mix, but gone are the tight curves along the stretch between Meilen and the finishing line. This equates to an even speedier Zurich Marathon!
Join the race and prove to yourself as well as the spectators and other participants that you’ve still got what it takes to cover the 42.195 kilometers around Zurich’s Lakeside. You are sure to finish feeling ready to conquer the world!
