Race Info
The half marathon is a single circuit that starts and finishes at the Swiss Museum of Transport on Lake Lucerne. It runs past the Chapel Bridge and water tower, loops around the Horw peninsula on the lakeshore, passes the FC Lucerne stadium and the KKL convention centre, and returns through the old town. The course is mostly flat, with about 110 meters of climb, and it is officially measured to World Athletics standards.
