Marchethon Lausanne

Marchethon Lausanne is an annual charity run/walk held in support of people affected by mucoviscidose (cystic fibrosis) and organised by Marchethon Lausanne CF in collaboration with Ligue Pulmonaire Vaudoise. The event traditionally takes place on the first Saturday of October along the lakeside in Lausanne, and the 41st edition is scheduled for Saturday 3 October 2026 at the Stade Pierre de Coubertin. The Marchethon carries the motto "Vous respirez sans y penser..." and emphasises community participation and fundraising for pulmonary health. It is presented as a family-friendly occasion welcoming runners, walkers and Nordic walkers alongside volunteers and local clubs.

The organiser page confirms practical details for race day: on-site registrations open at 08:30 and close 15 minutes before each category starts, with TWINT recommended and cash accepted. Group registrations for 10+ participants are supported via an Excel file obtained by contacting the organiser by email, and timing services are provided by SoftTiming. Historically the event has involved around 1.3K participants, a committee of volunteers and several service clubs handling catering and logistics. The event page also notes anniversary activities and prize draws in past editions as part of its community focus.
