Piazza Grande, Locarno (Race Village and Start/Finish)
The Ascona-Locarno Run is a two-day running festival set around Lake Maggiore with a Race Village and start/finish at Piazza Grande, Locarno. The event offers a varied programme that suits competitive runners, recreational participants and families, including a Kids Run, a 5 km Sunset Run, 10 km races and a 21 km half marathon. The event emphasises scenic lakeside routes and a welcoming festival atmosphere supported by a broad partner network.
Organised under the Ascona-Locarno Run brand, the weekend includes warm-ups, a pasta party and prize-giving ceremonies across the two days, and provides practical resources such as race village maps and participant information. All participants receive a Swiss Runners Ticket to ease travel in the region around the event, and the official site links to rules, maps and individual race pages for detailed guidance. Registration for the 2026 edition is open via the organisers' registration channel.
