Centro Città, 6900 Lugano, Switzerland
StraLugano 20th edition is a two-day running festival in Lugano, Switzerland, staged across the city centre on 26–27 September 2026. The weekend format brings together multiple certified road and mountain races, family activities and community events under the StraLugano brand. The event combines competitive racing with broad public participation, emphasising both elite performance and mass-participation experiences.
The programme includes the Campionato Svizzero Mezza Maratona (Swiss Half Marathon Championships) and World Athletics/AIMS-certified courses for key distances, with an elite start grid alongside general starts for the half marathon. Saturday features the shorter city races while Sunday hosts mountain and half-marathon formats, with live ranking and results published via the organiser's timing partner. The 20th edition also promotes a commemorative limited-edition race shirt and local partner activity to celebrate the anniversary.
Family engagement is a central USP, with a KidsRun and Famigros Run & Win offering community and children-focused formats alongside charity runs. Practical participant services are signposted on the official pages, including bib collection, pasta party arrangements and guarded valuables depots, while detailed start lists and course pages are published nearer race day. Registration opens in March 2026 and further schedule and logistical details appear on the StraLugano website and linked information pages.
