Intro

1st edition of the Franco-Swiss Marathon

The resort of Les Rousses and the Vallée de Joux are hosting the first edition of the Franco-Swiss Marathon, starting in La Cure – a village situated on the border – and finishing at Les Charbonnières, on the shores of Lake Brenet. Starting in France, finishing in Switzerland: the runners cross the border under their own steam!

One weekend, one race for everyone.

On Sunday, the marathon runners set off from La Cure and the half-marathon runners from Le Brassus, whilst the 12 km race starts from L’Orient in the afternoon. The day before, the weekend kicks off at Les Charbonnières with a 5 km race, as well as children’s races of 1, 2 and 3 km, to allow the youngest participants to join in the fun. There’s a distance to suit everyone, and all runners cross the same finish line for a joint finish and a huge celebration of running. Experienced runners, amateurs and families will come together in a spirit of sportsmanship, camaraderie and community.
