Frauenlauf Bern

Swiss Women’s Run Bern

9 June 2024

On your marks, set, go: every year, the starting gun for the Swiss Women's Run is fired in summer. Attracting 16,000 entrants, the run is the largest women's sports event in Switzerland. This is girl power at its finest.

Colourful balloons and an enthusiastic crowd of spectators that line the route: these are the hallmarks of the Swiss women's run in Bern. The main race is 5 kilometres in length and leads from the Bundesgasse to the Monbijou Bridge, through the Kirchenfeld district and ends with a final sprint onto the Bundesplatz. But the approximately 16,000 runners are free to choose between different routes. The longest stretches across 15 kilometres and can be completed by running or Nordic walking. There are no age restrictions.
