Half marathons in Graubünden

A half marathon is built over time, and Graubünden offers a perfect setting to accumulate quality kilometers 🏃. For a half marathon in Graubünden, the region serves as a training ground, before aiming for a start in the neighboring cantons.

The terrain offers a choice of several atmospheres. Around Chur, the roads of the Rhine Valley allow you to work on your pace on flat ground. In the Engadine, the lakes of Sils, Silvaplana and St. Moritz offer loops where the altitude builds your breathing at 1,800 m. The season runs from May to October, with cool mornings, long days and a crisp light that shows off the landscapes 🌞. Regular training here often pays off on returning to the lowlands. Mountain inns offer lovely breaks for long weekend runs, with a stunning view of the peaks. Varying the surfaces, from asphalt to dirt trails, also helps you progress without getting bored.

The neighboring half marathon calendar offers several goals. The Zurich Marathon opens in April, followed by the St. Gallen Marathon in May. In Ticino, the StraLugano brings Lugano to life in September, before the Ascona Locarno Run in October, on the shores of Lake Maggiore 🌴. Each event changes the scenery, from the German-speaking city to the palm trees south of the Alps. The half marathons in Switzerland complete the choice.

Davos hosts the World Economic Forum every year, where people rush through the corridors to discuss the future 😄. Here, runners prefer to rush along the trails, with healthier prospects. Everyone will find their race according to their level and desire, from a first 21 km to a personal best, with a piping hot coffee at the finish ☕. The kilometers covered in the Graubünden valleys will serve as precious capital for the rest of the season.
