The event exploded right from the start and is now the world’s major mountain marathon. Around half the competitors come from Switzerland, with the rest coming from over 50 countries and all five continents.
The Jungfrau Marathon covers the traditional distance of 42,195 km, with a grueling, stamina-testing 1800 m difference in altitude up to the foot of the Jungfrau.
O curso começa na Höhenweg de Interlaken, diretamente entre o Grand-Hotel Victoria-Jungfrau e Höhematte Prado com as suas vistas mundialmente famosos de Jungfrau. O "Guia Ultimate para maratonas internacionais" avaliou o curso como a "do mundo mais bela maratona".
