Running
Start Niederuster (Turicum) - Route map
The relay consists of two participants. The first person runs the entire half marathon, the second runs 9.3 km together with the first runner from Maur. The two runners must cross the finish line together - the times of both runners are added together for the ranking.
Transport from Niederuster to Maur by boat is organized for the second runner. This year the number of participants is limited to 200 teams. You can start in starting block 3 (finish time half marathon under 1h49; boat transportation for runner 2 at 10:25 from Niederuster) or 5 (finish time under 1h59; boat transportation for runner 2 at 10:50 from Niederuster).

The children will receive a shirt and a commemorative medal at the finish. The shirt for the accompanying adult(s) is not included in the entry fee. However, it can be purchased at a special price of CHF 20 when registering.
