never walk alone

When, on the last Sunday in October, over 13,000 runners take to the streets of Lucerne to take part in the SwissCityMarathon – Lucerne, athletes with intellectual and physical disabilities are also among the starters. Year after year, with the support of its partners, PluSport integrates over 30 runners with disabilities into the Lucerne running event. Some of the PluSport athletes are accompanied by so-called guides, as and when required. “Our aim is to enable all interested runners to take part in the SwissCityMarathon – Lucerne. For the ambitious athletes, we work together with the organising committee to create the best possible conditions for a top performance. As with all other participants, the focus is on sporting performance, the shared experience and wonderful emotions,” says René Pfister of PluSport Switzerland. Coop and Suva are covering the entry fees for all participants with disabilities and their accompanying guides.

The following race distances are on offer:

• CityRun 10KM (start at 09:15 in Horw)
• Half Marathon 21KM (start between 10:00 and 12:00 in Lucerne)
• Marathon 42KM (starting between 08:30 and 08:38 in Lucerne)

PluSport, Coop and Suva are looking forward to receiving lots of individual and group registrations and to a successful event!

At present, only places on the waiting list are still available.
