Interlaken to Kleine Scheidegg — one of the world's great mountain marathons.
Because earned altitude rewrites what you thought the day could hold.
The last 10 km is prayer — walk when needed.

Race Day
Practical & atmospheric notes
Kind shoulder-season conditions — mild mornings, arm-sleeves off by kilometre eight for most runners.
A warm regional start — clubs in matching kit, coffee vans, a local mayor with a microphone. Human-scale and unhurried.
Loyal, knowledgeable crowd at trail-heads and villages. Deep silence between — the wind and your breath as company.
A quieter stretch usually opens up between km 17 and km 23 — an interior mile to return to yourself before the final push.
Sealed city tarmac — closed to traffic on race day
Elevation and mixed surfaces make this a physical line. Handcycles only with a support team; sturdy adaptive strollers on the flatter opening kilometres.
