Lausanne, distance: 20km
Maison du Sport International, Avenue de Rhodanie 54
Like all urbirun routes, you can start wherever you like. Pay attention to the direction of the tour.
A unique and exclusive extra
With urbirun, enjoy a totally unusual experience: run the first official race with short commentaries and stories about its points of tourist interest, for the runners. Download the free izi.travel app, install the urbirun 20km Lausanne tour, run, listen, enjoy (available all year long, not only on race day).
And off you go. As you run, you'll discover, for example, that at km2 you pass the lower end of what was once Europe's very first funicular railway, before learning the unusual story of a ruined tower at km3. At km11, you'll run along the Chauderon district and find out why it's called that. Further on, you'll be surprised to learn that you're crossing a landfill site, we'll explain why it's better to speed up by the lake, and we'll tell you a funny story about a heart... among other things.
Enjoy an original experience and a magnificent route, from the shores of Lake Geneva to the Old Town hill, the Castle and the Cathedral. There's plenty to see.
So try your hand at adventure, and take up the challenge of the Lausanne 20km or 10km with urbirun. Run differently, run smart, urbirun !
How does it work? The urbirun concept is simple.
This unique experience is offered to you with the support of the Lausanne 20km race, and Lausanne Tourisme.
NB: please note that you won't get audio-guidance on this route, i.e. directional indications (unlike all other urbirun tours), as it is a race and all you have to do is follow the runner ahead of you, or the bike if you are in the lead.
Bonus
The routes of the Lausanne 20km and 10km are also available in GPX format, if you want to train.
Find all Urbirun routes in GPX format in the Urbirun GPX boutique!
