The last weekend in October is when Lausanne becomes the host for a big running event for the second time in the year. Each year Lausanne host two weekends of running, the 20km of Lausanne weekend and the Marathon weekend. The marathon was held this year on Sunday the 27th of October and next year will be held on Sunday the 26th of October 2014. The marathon weekend is a great day out in the Lake Geneva area. On a day when traditionally nothing is open you can go down to the finish line and find a few stalls and lots of people both supporting and running in the different races for the day. Or attend the expo and do some shopping for all your running needs. As well as the Marathon there are many other races on the marathon weekend including,

• ½ Marathon Handbike
• Walking 10km
• Nordic Walking 10KM
• Marathon
• Mini children A (2.6km)
• Mini children B (4.2km)
• 10 KM running
• ½ Marathon Running

While it is late in the year and the weather can often feel like it is against you once you start racing you forget all about this. The sense of achievement is great at the end of any of the disciplines and the atmosphere amongst both runners and supporters in fantastic. Keep and eye on the website and be sure to enter at datasport as soon as you can for next year.
