Marathon in Bern

Hello!

I'm a marathon runner (42,195 km). I've run marathons in 16 European capitals, so far and I miss Liechtenstein and Switzerland.
I'm going to visit Switzerland next week. My aim is Liechtenstein Marathon (http://www.lgt-alpin-marathon.li/) on June 14 (Saturday). On the next day (or Monday early morning), I'm going to run a marathon in Bern. There is no official race, but I would like to organize something like that for myself (e.g. at a stadium or in a park). Can you recommend an easily accessible course?
I saw two stadiums with athletics track, that could be fine (I'm not talking about Stade de Suisse, which will be closed due to EURO 2008). Are they open to the public? Maybe there is a better course (it's hard to do 105,5 laps around a stadium :-)). I have my GPS, but if somebody measured a fine course in Bern, please let me know.

Best regards,

Robert Celinski

Re: Marathon in Bern

Thank you, but I prefer a stadium or a park - it's too much traffic in the streets.
Maybe these 4 pictures will be helpful:

Is any of those open to the public all the time?
Maybe somebody runs in Bremgarten (it looks nice)?
