Race Description
The Zurich Half Marathon begins near the shores of Lake Zurich and follows a scenic route along the lake before entering the city’s central districts. Much of the course runs along the lakefront, where runners enjoy long uninterrupted views of the water and surrounding hills. The route continues through central streets before looping back toward the waterfront finish area. The course profile is mostly flat with a few gentle rises, making it suitable for runners looking to maintain a steady pace. The lakeside sections provide long straight stretches that are ideal for consistent pacing. With the Alps visible in the distance and the lake alongside much of the route, the race combines urban running with one of Switzerland’s most scenic natural settings.
