Informations

Here you will find all the information about the races and the organisation.

Race numbers

Personal race numbers will be sent by post to all Swiss addresses approximately 10 days before the race.
Please note: In some cases, race numbers may not be delivered – for example, due to incomplete or incorrect address details.

Participants whose race numbers could not be delivered by post can collect them on site at the race number collection point.

Participants with a foreign address will not receive their race number by post and must collect it from the race number collection point.

  • Either on Saturday 22 May 2027 in the courtyard of the Town Hall between 10 am and 4 pm

  • or on Sunday 23 May 2026 on the Market Square from 7 am.

We recommend collecting your race number early to avoid waiting times.
