SPORT, FUN & ACTION OVER 1–3 LAPS OF 3.5 KM EACH!

Up to 19 action-packed obstacles await the obstacle runners on each lap.

The loop starts in the Tissot Velodrome. Right from the beginning, you’ll sprint through our indoor obstacle course and kick things off with a first little challenge against your friends! The loop then takes you past the surrounding sports fields and leisure areas to the pump track and back to the Tissot Velodrome—and the finish line. Once you arrive, you can celebrate as a finisher, refuel at the food and drink area, and check out our partner booths.

You’ll find a few obstacle examples below. The placement and number of obstacles may vary slightly. Participation from age 14 (born in 2012).

KIDS RUN 3.5 KM CATEGORY!

The Kids Run starts in the Tissot Velodrome just like the adults, with the same process. In the Kids Run, only 1 lap of 3.5 km is completed.

Kids start in waves according to their birth-year categories: 2013/2014, then 2015/2016, and the youngest, born in 2017.

The Kids Run also includes a team ranking, where entire school classes or clubs can compete against each other.
