Schlosslauf Rapperswil-Jona 2026

The Schlosslauf Rapperswil-Jona is a Swiss running event held in Rapperswil-Jona each October, with the castle town and Lake Zurich central to race day. It accommodates various participants: children run 0.72 km, youth races are 1.27 km or 1.83 km, and adult distances are 5.36 km and 10 km. The event also provides age-group categories, awards, inclusion details, start lists, rankings, and a roll of honor. The route crosses Rapperswil’s old town, including cobblestone streets, and follows the lake promenade, offering runners narrow historic passages and open water vistas. Race morning fills the town with crowds and music, beginning with children's races before the main fields proceed through the center. The Schlosslauf has a history of setting records; participant numbers and course marks have been surpassed, and Seare Weldezghi set the 10 km course record at 29:47.8.
