The Ascona-Locarno Run is a two‑day, multi‑distance road running and walking festival set on the shores of Lake Maggiore, presented as the XI edition for 2026. The event is billed as accessible to professionals, beginners and families alike and showcases scenic sections between Ascona and Locarno. Core competitive distances include a 21 km half marathon and a 10 km race, with additional options such as a 5 km Sunset Run, a 10 km Walking & Nordic Walking category and a Kids Run.
Races are organised around Locarno’s Piazza Grande and the lakefront promenade at Ascona, offering a largely road‑based route that highlights the region’s autumn colours and tourist attractions. The event is run by the local organising association (Associazione Ascona‑Locarno Run, with Virtus Locarno and US Ascona listed as organisers) and registration is handled online via the official event site. Organisers have issued official notices for the 2026 edition; participants should consult the event website for registration details and any updates to travel or ticket inclusions for this year.
