Course description

Switzerland's fastest marathon course with only around 98 metres of elevation — flatter than Berlin. The course starts at the Quaibrücke and runs as an out-and-back along Lake Zurich before the finish on Sechseläutenplatz awaits. Around 70% of runners achieve a personal best here.

Coach tip

Very fast and flat along the lake — ideal for a PB, so run evenly. At the turnaround, mental toughness is key: ration your energy and use the runners coming back as motivation. The course is very well organised, letting you focus fully on your pace to the finish.
