Einziger Zweitages-Doppel-Marathon der Schweiz!
Zum Gedenken an den 14. Oktober 2000, als ein gewaltiger Erdrutsch das kleine Dorf Gondo am Simplonpass verschüttete und dabei 13 Menschen ihr Leben verloren, findet seit dem Jahr 2002 jeweils am ersten August-Wochenende der internationale Gondo Marathon statt. Dabei handelt es sich um einen Zweitageslauf über eine Distanz von insgesamt 84 km und 4200 Höhenmetern. Daneben werden auch ein Rennen über die Marathondistanz sowie ein Wettkampf über 28 km angeboten. Der Gondo Marathon ist ein familiärer Traillauf abseits der grossen Massen mit viel Herzblut bei Läufer:innen und Helfer:innen!
