Piazza Grande, 6600 Locarno, Switzerland
ASCONA LOCARNO RUN 2026 is a two-day running event on 10–11 October 2026 that links the lakefront towns of Locarno and Ascona on Lake Maggiore. The races use Piazza Grande in Locarno as the central race village, start and finish area, and the programme offers multiple distance options for different abilities. The event is presented as an autumn highlight in Switzerland’s sunniest region with scenic promenades and lakeside views forming much of the route.
Participants can choose from a 21 km half marathon, 10 km run, 10 km walking & Nordic walking, a 5 km Sunset Run and a Kids Run, with dedicated warm-ups, prize ceremonies and a race village. The organisers promote travel perks such as the Swiss Runners Ticket and Ticino Ticket to ease local travel, and the schedule includes evening and weekend slots to appeal to families and recreational runners. The overall emphasis is on an accessible, picturesque experience rather than technical racing details, with on-site facilities and event partner offers provided in the race village.
