25 years young
Sport and mountains were made for each other: and such a combination results in a performance brim full of emotions. And over a period of time, familiarity and experience grow. 2010 marks the 25th anniversary of the Swissalpine marathon. Such an anniversary ought to be celebrated with a party. A party for everyone - sportsmen and sportswomen, and visitors from all over the world. For you. From us. With an offering that stirs the sporting spirit. Both yesterday and tomorrow.
Welcome to the Swissalpine which takes place in Davos on 31 July 2010!

19.02.10 Early start for the K78 at 06.00 hours
|
|
This start is intended for runners who can complete the K78 in 11 to 14 hours. This rule, which has been introduced for the first time, is going down well. Current applications for the K78 indicate that 20% of the runners will be at the start at 06.00 a.m., which will eventually result in a field of about 200 to 300 entrants. The front runners of the 08.00 a.m. start will overtake the field of early starters after Filisur.
The Keschhütte passage is planned as follows:
Start at 06.00 a.m.: 00.45 p.m. – approx. 03.00 p.m.
(Keschhütte may be passed at 00.45 p.m. at the earliest.)
Start at 08.00 a.m.: 00.00 p.m. – 03.40 p.m.
The field of early starters will be so well split up by the Keschhütte that it will easily be possible to overtake on the Panorama Trail. The rule of fair play is especially important here: slower runners must allow faster runners to pass them.

19.02.10 Farewell Party

19.02.10 Alpinathlon
|
|
The new Alpinathlon Engadin St. Moritz is an offshoot of the Swissalpine team competition. The starting gun for the Alpinathlon Engadin St. Moritz will sound on 24 July 2010. The Alpinathlon is a combination of sport, adventure, team spirit and pushing the boundaries. As a team, couple or individual, athletes will have to conquer mountain and valley, hiking trails and high alpine routes, summer and winter. In the 136.6 kilometres between Bergün and the Corvatsch mountain station, athletes will have to master climbs of 5,854 metres and descents of 3,918 metres. The total distance is split up into five sections. The athletes must complete one section on a road bike and two each by mountain bike and on foot.

30.11.09 Time slot for K78 increased
|
|
By way of a special new feature to mark our anniversary, entrants in the K78 will now have 14 hours to complete the course, instead of the previous 12. This will mean that more runners will now be able to enter this race which they could not complete in the previously allotted time.
As a result, there will now be two starts. Runners who are expected to take longer than 11 hours to finish will go off at 06.00 hours. The main start for runners expected to finish in less than 11 hours will be at 08.00 hours, as before.
