Since its creation in 1993, the friendly atmosphere, exceptional scenery and eclectic style of the Lausanne Marathon have made it an internationally renowned event. Through the city, along the shores of Lake Geneva and through the UNESCO-listed Lavaux vineyards, each participant finds the right route for them and their ability from a choice of different disciplines and distances. On the Sunday, nearly 13,500 competitors come together to beat records or simply challenge their personal best. Not forgetting the ever-growing number of enthusiastic spectators who come to cheer on their champions or just to join in with the sporting spirit of the Olympic capital.
