The Lausanne Marathon is an annual marathon race held in the Swiss city of Lausanne since 1993. The road race generally takes place in October, while the 20 km of Lausanne takes place in April. A half marathon and multiple 10-kilometre (6.2 mi) races (run, walk, and Nordic walk) are also held.
The Lausanne Marathon is one of the largest annual sporting events of the Canton de Vaud, and attracts up to 2,500 tourists each year.
History
The first edition was held in 1993, with the inauguration of the Olympic Museum.
In 2005, Ethiopia's Tesfaye Eticha won the men's competition for a record seventh time.
In 2009, a record 10,658 runners participated.
The 2020 edition of the race was cancelled, three days before its scheduled date, due to a spike of coronavirus cases during the second wave of the coronavirus pandemic, with all registrants given the option of obtaining a refund.
Course
The race starts in Lausanne, Place de Milan (next to the Parc de Milan), and then follows the road along the Lake Léman until La Tour-de-Peilz, before returning to Lausanne via the same route. The finish is located in front of the Olympic Museum fountain.
The half-marathon (21 km) starts from La Tour-de-Peilz (since 2000) and ends in Lausanne.
