Course description

The course is a circuit with the length of a half marathon, which starts and finishes at the Swiss Transport Museum. The track runs first along the "Haldenstrasse", passing by the chapel royal and the traditional luxury hotels of the city. Departing from "Schwanenplatz", the runners cross the pier from where they can see the famous chapel bridge and the water tower as well as the Old Town. On the other side of the lake, the track passes by the Lucerne Culture and Congress Centre built by Jean Nouvel, around the Horwer peninsula and along Lake Lucerne with a view of the impressive Alpine panorama of Central Switzerland. From Horw, where the finish line of the "try-out marathon" (Schnuppermarathon) is located; the course leads through the Allmend stadium back to the pier and to the Swiss Transport Museum.
