What to expect

What makes this race distinct — for training and race day.

The Lauberhorn Run is the legendary "crazy running event" at the Lauberhorn — a short, steep 4.48 km race with around 1,088 metres of ascent. Run downhill from the finish in Wengen to the start at the top. A fast, technical run on snow and firn with iconic views over the Eiger region.

• Catering & aid stations

  Pizza party in Wengen (behind the Tourist Center) — a pizza is included in the entry fee. Collect voucher when picking up your race number.

• Pacers

  Pacers will be active on race day with designated pacers at the various start waves ("Renntag für Laufende"). Pacers help the faster runners to chase their target times; flags with pacer numbers are attached to the gate markers. Note that the final climb up the 110 m ski slope is the "Royal Sprint" — the participant who fastest conquers this gruelling slope wins CHF 1000 (sponsored by the Männlichen aerial cableway). All participants must cross the Lauberhorn finish line; unsporting behaviour or deliberate obstruction will lead to disqualification.
