Grand Prix of Bern

The Grand-Prix von Bern is the city’s flagship running festival and umbrella series that brings together multiple races, community activities and a weekend SPORT EXPO in Bern. The site and official communications use the German title “Grand-Prix von Bern”; the festival format for 2026 includes expo and bib pick-up on Friday and a full race day on Saturday. The event is organised by Grand-Prix von Bern (Geschäftsstelle, Bern) and the official website provides dedicated pages for each child race, logistics, reglement and participant services.

The 2026 edition is promoted as the 44th Grand-Prix von Bern and spans Friday 8 May (expo and bib collection) and Saturday 9 May (race day). The festival features an expo, pasta party, photography services, race timing and award ceremonies, and links to dedicated pages for the Original Grand Prix, Altstadt Grand Prix, Bären Grand Prix and the Coca‑Cola Inclusion Run. For registration the organiser directs participants to the TrackMaxx registration portal and publishes detailed subpages for routes, schedules and participant information.
