Jungfrau Marathon

Take on one of the most breathtaking marathon experiences in the world with the legendary Jungfrau Marathon, set in the heart of the Swiss Alps.

Starting in Interlaken, this iconic race covers the full marathon distance of 42.195 km with 1,953 meters of elevation gain, making it one of the most challenging and scenic road marathons in Europe. With around 4,000 entries that sell out every year, it is a truly exclusive endurance experience.

From the very first steps, runners are surrounded by a postcard-perfect alpine panorama. The route follows the turquoise shores of Lake Brienz, passes through traditional Swiss mountain villages, and climbs steadily into a dramatic high-altitude landscape dominated by the legendary peaks of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau.

This is not just a race — it is a journey through pure nature at its most spectacular. Every kilometer reveals a new perspective of the Alps, from lakeside serenity to steep mountain ascents, creating a constantly changing and unforgettable running experience.

What makes the Jungfrau Marathon truly unique is its atmosphere. Along the course, runners are supported by traditional Swiss cultural elements such as flag throwers, alphorn players, and bell ringers, creating a powerful sense of place and celebration.

The Jungfrau Marathon is more than a marathon — it is one of the world’s ultimate alpine endurance experiences, where performance meets nature on an extraordinary scale.
