StraLugano, live.

A running weekend on Lake Lugano, from the lakefront to Monte Brè

StraLugano holds its 21st edition on 25 and 26 September 2027, with road races through Lugano and a climb from the lake to Monte Brè.

The first StraLugano was held on 16 and 17 September 2006. The 20th edition in 2026 set a record with 9,477 entries and hosted the Swiss half marathon championships. The half marathon and the 10 km CityRun use courses certified to AIMS and World Athletics Grade A, and the 10 km also counts for the ASTi BancaStato road cup.

The 21 km Half Marathon has refreshment points at km 5.3, 10.9 and 15.08 and a time limit of 2 h 30. Teams of three can share it in the HM RelayRun, with legs of 10.7, 5.8 and 4.6 km and a single chip passed from hand to hand. The 10 km CityRun allows 1 h 45, and the 5 km FunRun, with a 50 minute limit, is a simple course with views of the old town architecture, the lake and Parco Ciani.

The Monte Brè Run mixes road and mountain running. From the lakeshore it follows the Gandria path and a steep forest trail to the restaurant at the top, about 9 km with roughly 730 m of climbing. From the summit the view reaches from the Apennines over the Po plain to the Swiss Alps, and after a small refreshment the historic funicular takes you back to the city.

There is also a KidsRun, a Run4Charity and the StraCombinata, so the weekend suits first timers and experienced runners alike.

On Livebib you can follow a participant who chooses to share their own live position from the phone they carry. This is not the organiser's timing, and the official results come from StraLugano.
