11. Zurich Marathon/Switzerland will take place on 7 April 2013.
First-time marathon participants will enjoy running in Zurich just as much as athletes who have already competed in events in Berlin, London, Paris, New York, Vienna, Rome or Boston. The Zurich Marathon has a great deal more to offer than «just» a fast and attractive course.
Zurich, it should be noted, is a unique small lakeside city, surrounded by wooded hills with the Alpine panorama on the horizon. It is a vibrant and pulsating town, entertaining and businesslike in equal measure.
Hectic, trendy, enterprising, fashionable, passionate about all things cultural – a one-of-a-kind city, a good place to be.
