Generali Genève Marathon 2025

The Generali Genève Marathon is one of the most beautiful marathons in Europe and one of the fastest in Switzerland. The beauty of the Geneva course, with its first part through the countryside and its finish in the heart of the city in front of the famous Jet d'Eau, along with its smooth route, attracts runners. In 2019, more than 50% of participants set personal records. The 19th edition of the Generali Genève Marathon will take place on May 10th and 11th, 2025. Thousands of runners from over 138 different nationalities will gather in a festive and friendly atmosphere to take part in one of the eight races on the program: the Marathon, the Marathon Relay by Core Lean (4–6 people), the Half Marathon, the Wheelchair Half Marathon, the 10k open to both runners and walkers, the 5k by Always (now open to all!), the Junior Races (1 to 3 km for ages 6-13), and the Parent/Child 1k race for younger participants starting at age 3. The Generali Genève Marathon also offers a great opportunity to enjoy a pleasant weekend in Geneva. Well-connected from across Europe and with high-quality tourist and hotel infrastructure, Geneva was named the best “City Break” destination in Europe in 2014, 2015, and 2017.
