| I didn't know this thread existed....wish I'd found it earlier ! I'm a keen mountain runner, and race a lot during the mountain running season. This year, I ran Liechtenstein, Jungfrau and Napf marathons plus some of the shorter races...Zugerberglauf, Rigiberglauf and some in the Jura mnts. Good to find some other Brits running these kinds of races. I'll be doing some of the snow mtn runs over the winter and then getting some solid training in for the next season. Hopefully see some of you around. | |

I was wondering if there would be interest on the forum for a friendly berglauf on the Zurich side. Options include (but these are increasingly snow dependent as the days pass): Zugerberg (6km, 500m each way); Rigi (~10 km, 1400m each way) with the option to come down by bus/bahn.
A flat run around Zug Lake is something I have been thinking of doing, but won't try without company: approx 39 kms; nice thing is it passes thru' 3 cantons*: Zug, Lucerne and Schwyz and offers good views all the way upto Junfrau/Eiger/Monch, and the start point would be just 25 mins from Zurich by train .
Something right within Zurich would obviously involve Uetliberg and/or Albis...
I thought such a run would give opportunity for people wanting to give it a try but hesitant to sign up for a real race far away from home.
*Something along the lines of the EF 3 pass Alpine adventure (roadbiking) we had earlier.
Edit: Apologies for being Zurich-centric; I am keen to explore other areas as well, but someone who knows that part would need to take the initiative.
