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
On 3 and 4 August 2024
The Gondo Marathon 2024 will take place as usual on the first weekend in August. The registration portal will open on 1 December. We look forward to your participation!

Finish on the Briger Stadtplatz
For the 20th anniversary
On Saturday, as always, the start will be in Gondo, but for once the finish will not be in Ried-Brig but in the centre of Brig. For the anniversary, the runners will run through the Stockalperhof after crossing the Saltina Gorge and will be welcomed in the town square of Brig.
Gondo Marathon on 6/7 August
News for the anniversary
The Gondo Marathon celebrates its 20th edition this year. For the anniversary, the finish line will be moved to the town square in Brig on Saturday. In addition, a relay race will be offered, in which the team members themselves decide how to split the distance.
Routes of the Gondo Marathon

We offer a varied route in the unique mountain landscape between Ried-Brig and Gondo on the Simplon Pass in Valais. The routes can be found on Outdoor-Activ, where they can be downloaded as GPX and as KML files.
Run report from the "Frankenblitz"
The No. 60 for your birthday
One of our most loyal runners is Thomas Keller. Every year, when he participates in the Gondo Marathon, there is a nice running report from him afterwards. The last report from the Gondo Marathon over two days was in 2018 (after that came Corona).
Action for running clubs, running groups, running clubs, etc.
If five runners from the same association, club, etc. start, one entry fee is free. If there is a group of ten, we will give away two entry fees. Simply register all runners normally and get one entry fee back at the race office!
