Swiss Alps 100

Description

100 km:

You're thinking 50KM is a bit too short and 160KM is a bit too long. So the 100KM will fit you nicely but don't underestimate the course. With a total elevation gain of 6'250 meters (20,500 feet) you will be tested along the course.

Along your journey you will be enjoy incredible views like running along the Aletsch Glacier, which is part of the UNESCO World Heritage, and traversing over the 160 meter (524 feet) Aspi-Titter suspension bridge and the 280 meter (918 feet) suspension bridge Mühlebach-Fürgangen .

50 km:

Despite being the second shortest distance in the Swiss Alps 100, the 50K course should not be underestimated. With a total elevation gain of 3'210 meters (10,530 feet) you will certainly be tested along the way. What will keep you going are the incredible views, such as running along the Aletsch Glacier, which is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, and crossing the 160 meter Aspi-Titter Suspension Bridge and the 280 meter (918 foot) Mühlebach-Fürgangen Suspension Bridge .

Finishers will receive a beautiful 7cm medal. We will also be awarding female/male age group prizes (18-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70+). The total cut-off time is 15 hours and there are 6 fully stocked aid stations.

Finisher will receive a beautiful 3.5 inches medal. We also give out female/male age group awards (18-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70+). The overall cutoff-time is 27 hours and there are 9 fully stocked aid stations. Finishers earned a Western States 100 qualifier if finished in 22 hour or less.

Free Kids Run:

In today's world, where many children are glued to their devices and pretty much sitting most of the day, it is more than ever important to introduce them to the world of outdoor activities. And the entire team at the Swiss Alps 100 wants to do that by offering a free kids run.

We accept up to 100 children 4 to 13 years old. You can register for free prior the race and if there are open spots then race day registration will be available too. The 3 categories are Mini (4-6), Rookies (7-9), and Youngsters (10-13) and they will be starting in that order. The Mini and Rookies course is about 480 meter long. The Youngsters course is about 960 meter long.

Each child will receive a souvenir race bib with a passive tracker on the back. Their times will be collected and then published on the website. At the finish line they will receive their medal, a surprise gift, and one free food/drink item.

The kids run will be all within the Sport Resort area. The Unnergoms fire department will block traffic during the children's race until the last child is off the road. Parents are allowed to run alongside their children.
