Balexert 20km of Geneva

Balexert 20km de Genève is an autumn road running festival held in and around Genève, Switzerland. The 2026 edition is presented as the 9th edition and is scheduled for 1 November 2026, offering a scenic route through the Geneva countryside with views of the Jura and Mont Blanc and a finish along the shores of Lake Léman. The event carries a charitable focus, with a stated fundraising goal of CHF 15,000 to help fund a life‑saving operation for a child with a congenital heart defect. The organiser frames the race as accessible to competitive runners, walkers and families alike.

The programme for the edition includes multiple formats: 20km and 10km individual races, 20km and 10km relays, 10km walking and Nordic walking, junior races for ages 3–13 and a Mascotte Run for families and fun. The event uses pace‑based starting pens to improve flow and publishes practical information such as a runner guide, bib collection details and transport guidance on the official site. Pre‑registration and a waiting list are open for the 2026 edition via the event registration portal listed on the organiser's website. Detailed start times, course maps and pricing are provided on the organiser pages and were not specified on the event summary page.
