About the Greifenseelauf

The Greifenseelauf Half Marathon circles a picturesque Swiss lake with Alpine precision. Runners follow the shoreline path with crystal-clear waters reflecting distant Alpine peaks and charming lakeside villages creating perfect Swiss postcard scenes. September's early autumn brings comfortable temperatures and golden light that showcases the region's natural beauty. The predominantly flat course offers good time potential while providing continuous visual rewards of Swiss countryside at its most idyllic. Local supporters bring precise but genuine encouragement, creating a uniquely Swiss atmosphere of appreciation for both athletic effort and natural surroundings. This perfectly organized event captures Zurich Canton's distinctive character—naturally spectacular yet meticulously maintained—offering both serious athletic challenge and cultural immersion in a country where efficiency harmonizes with natural beauty.
