Posts on races in Switzerland, Europe and around the world. Pictures from marathons and other running events accompanied by reports on the experience.
For a marathon day getting up at 7am is rather late, but quite the welcomed treat. The day’s mission was to run the legendary Frauenfelder. Now if you’re not from Switzerland, there’s a good chance you’ve never heard of Frauenfeld, though it does host Europe’s largest hip-hop festival every summer and is also home to...
What do you get for the world’s most beautiful marathon on it’s 20th birthday? How about a full three days of unbelievably beautiful summer weather and nearly double the number of participants from all over the world, oh and for good measure the right to host the Long Distance Mountain Running World Championships. Well that...
I like races that take you places, from towns to mountains and from one valley to the next. It’s fine to run a race on a beautiful day, but it’s the ones where the weather goes through changes that are memorable for me. The 2012 SwissAlpine K42 Marathon began and ended in the rain for...
Off to Davos Departing Zurich in the sweltering summer heat that acts oppressively on the body squeezing out every last drop of moisture as a briny glaze on everyone’s body at The station, I could only hope that temperatures would cool down higher in the mountains. I knew that wish would come true when we...
While we’re busy working on our race reports here are a few more pictures from the 2012 edition of the SwissAlpine K78 mountain marathon. If you ran it, we hope that you’re feeling fit again and that these pictures bring back nice memories.
My legs are a tad destroyed from pushing too hard on the descent, but my fingers still work and my camera survived, so here are some photos from from running the 2012 SwissAlpine K42 mountain marathon. Here at Dromeus we’re working on race reports for the K42 and K78 marathon and ultra races. In addition...
The Swiss Alpine, one of the premier mountain races in the world gets under way next weekend (July 28th 2012), and I’m getting ready to run the Marathon version, the K42. Last year I ran the K42, it was my first marathon and a wonderful experience in 2011, so I’m going back for 2012. If...
From the Heavens to the Abyss There are many breathtaking train rides in Switzerland, but one that always amazes me is the ride from Visp to Zermatt. Zermatt isn’t famous for its yearly meeting of world business and finance leaders like Davos, nor does it boast a world famous snow polo tournament like St. Moritz,...
