Route change for Gondo Running on Sunday

A hiking trail is closed

Due to the risk of falling rocks, the hiking trail from "Grund" towards the Simplon Pass is closed until further notice. We therefore have to adapt the running route (the double marathon is not affected). We start at the forester's lodge below Schallberg and follow (with one exception) the marathon route up to the Simplon Pass. 

Registration for the 22st Gondo Marathon is open!

Welcome to 3 and 4 August 2024!

You can now register for the 22nd Gondo Marathon. The organisation team appreciates it when runners register early. Thank you very much!

Next Gondo Marathon
