Balexert 20 km of Geneva

Balexert 20km de Genève is an autumn road-running event centred on Geneva, presented under the Balexert 20km de Genève / 20kmGeneve brand. The race day offers a mix of competitive and participatory formats, from the flagship 20 km to 10 km options, relay categories, walking and nordic walking, plus dedicated junior races and a Mascotte Run. The course is described as scenic, taking participants through Geneva’s countryside with views of the Jura and Mont-Blanc and finishing along the shores of Lake Léman. The organiser promotes a community atmosphere with volunteer support and post-race finishing areas by the lake.

The 2026 edition is announced for 1 November 2026 and the site currently promotes registration via an external NJuko waitlist/registration link. The event supports charitable fundraising, with a stated objective of CHF 15,000 to help fund a vital heart operation for a child, and it highlights sustainability measures such as encouraging public transport and reducing single-use plastics. Multiple junior distances (500 m–2 km) and a 400 m Mascotte Run underscore the family-friendly nature of the day, while relay options allow teams to share the 10 km and 20 km routes. Practical details such as specific race start times, entry fees and packet pickup are provided on the registration and athlete-guide pages linked from the official site.
