Geneva Marathon

The Generali Genève Marathon is one of Switzerland’s major spring running events, held in Geneva, Switzerland, with a race weekend that combines fast road racing, lakeside scenery, countryside roads, city landmarks, and a dramatic finish near Lake Geneva.

The event is organized under the Generali Genève Marathon organization, with Generali as the title partner. The main Sunday races start from Frank Thomas Road in Cologny and finish at the Mont Blanc Bridge in Geneva, while the Saturday evening shorter-distance events finish at Quai Gustave-Ador.

For runners, this is a polished European destination race with strong performance appeal. The marathon route combines Geneva’s countryside with the city’s lakeside landmarks, including views toward the famous Jet d’Eau. The official marathon page describes it as one of the most beautiful marathons in Europe and one of the fastest in Switzerland, with a rolling course and a high proportion of runners achieving personal bests.
