Description

Only a few days left until the 22nd LGT Alpine Marathon.

Soon one of the most beautiful mountain races in the area will attract hundreds of running enthusiasts from various nations to the country.

The excitement is building, and the preparations are on track. For the 22nd time, the traditional mountain race starts on Saturday 3 June 2023. This year, Alex Ospelt is the honorary starter, and sends the runners off at exactly 9 o'clock in Bendern.

Several hundred running enthusiasts are expected. This year too, hundreds of running enthusiasts are participating who will cover the 42.2 km long distance from Bendern to Malbun. But for those who prefer a shorter distance, they can focus on the first 25 km and run the Half Marathon PLUS, which ends in Steg.

The relay has certainly gained popularity, offering two runners the opportunity to participate in the marathon by splitting the course into Bendern-Steg (25 km) and Steg-Malbun (17 km). So far, almost 600 runners are expected to participate in the 22nd LGT Alpine Marathon, divided into the three different disciplines and the youth race.

3rd LGT Alpine Youth Race.

In this third edition of the LGT Alpine Youth Race, children and teenagers (U8 to U16) must complete one to four rounds. Each round is 600 meters long and takes place on slightly hilly terrain. The first start is at 12:30, and late registration is possible up to 30 minutes before the start.

Pink Ribbon Charity Walk.🚶

The Pink Ribbon Charity Walk is also part of the LGT Alpine Marathon this year. The breast cancer organization Pink Ribbon Liechtenstein offers two short-distance options to participate. Starting in Bendern, participants can cover the first 10 km of the LGT Alpine Marathon to Vaduz without timing. The second short distance of 2 km will lead from Rheinpark Stadium to Rathausplatz in Vaduz and can be completed with strollers, dogs or bicycles.

Register online.

As every year, registrations are exclusively possible online. More information is available on the website www.lgt-alpin-marathon.li. The registration deadline is 31 May 2023, and post-registration is possible at the bib number distribution on the Friday before the race and up to 30 minutes before the start of the race day.
