Lausanne Marathon

The start of the 2008 Lausanne Marathon

The Lausanne Marathon is an annual marathon race held in the Swiss city of Lausanne. The first edition was held in 1993, with the inauguration of the Olympic Museum. Ethiopia's Tesfaye Eticha won the men's competition for a record seventh time. Parallel to the marathon, a half-marathon, a 10 km, a 10 km walking and Nordic walking, and a mini-marathon race of 4 km are organised. The Lausanne Marathon is one of the rare Swiss races that organises a half-marathon for wheelchairs and handcycles.

The Lausanne Marathon is one of the largest annual sporting events of the Canton de Vaud, and attracts up to 2500 tourists each year. In 2009, a record 10,658 runners participated.

The race starts in Lausanne, Place de Milan, and then follows the road along Geneva Lake until La Tour de Peilz, before returning to Lausanne via the same route. The arrival 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.
