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.

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).
