The Frauenfelder Marathon, first held in 1934 in Frauenfeld, Switzerland, is one of the country’s oldest and most storied running events, originally beginning as a military march. Today, it attracts runners of all ages and abilities with a variety of race options, including a full marathon, a half marathon, a junior half marathon for youth, and the traditional Military March, where participants complete the 42 km course in full military gear. The marathon course spans Frauenfeld to Wil and back, covering paved roads, forest paths, and open fields, providing both a scenic and physically demanding challenge. The half marathon and junior races follow a similar route from Wil to Frauenfeld, offering shorter but still rewarding courses. Celebrated for its rolling hills and net downhill profile, the event combines competitive running with a unique historical and local cultural experience.
