The SwissCityMarathon - Lucerne has a special offer for members of the Swiss Army. With a contingent of 250 starting places, the Swiss Army offers its members a starting fee subsidised by the Army with the aim of promoting sports awareness among the members of the Swiss Army.
Members of the Army pay only one franc per kilometre, whether in the 10K, half marathon or marathon category.
The physical capability of the troops is a prerequisite for the basic and operational readiness of the army. Off-duty sporting activities and competitions such as participation in the SwissCityMarathon - Lucerne contribute to increasing the fitness and thus the performance of the members of the Swiss Army.
In addition to a special starting number, the members of the army can look forward to their own ranking, so the army champion in the marathon, half marathon and 10K will be awarded and will later be given a prize in Magglingen.
