The Swiss City Marathon is a marathon in Lucerne, first held in 2007. A half marathon and a "try-out marathon" (Schnuppermarathon) of 13 km are also part of the programme.
The marathon was held for the first time on 28 October 2007. With 5594 finishers, the premiere was the largest first edition of a running event in Switzerland and the Lucerne Marathon became at once the third largest Swiss marathon after the Zürich Marathon [de] and Jungfrau Marathon.
The 2020 in-person edition of the race was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic, with all registrants given the option of registering for free for 2021, obtaining a voucher for the marathon valid until 2023 (minus a 10 CHF handling fee), or obtaining a refund (minus a 20 CHF handling fee).[3][4]
Courseedit
The course is a circuit with the length of a half marathon, which starts and finishes at the Swiss Transport Museum. The track runs first along the "Haldenstrasse", passing by the chapel royal and the traditional luxury hotels of the city. Departing from "Schwanenplatz", the runners cross the pier from where they can see the famous chapel bridge and the water tower as well as the Old Town. On the other side of the lake, the track passes by the Lucerne Culture and Congress Centre built by Jean Nouvel, around the Horwer peninsula and along Lake Lucerne with a view of the impressive Alpine panorama of Central Switzerland. From Horw, where the finish line of the "try-out marathon" (Schnuppermarathon) is located; the course leads through the Allmend stadium back to the pier and to the Swiss Transport Museum.

It is organised by the Lucerne Marathon Association.
^Although multiple sources state that "her racing results [had been] declared null and void", it is unclear which results had been invalidated, as the 2011 results of the Swiss City Marathon still list her as the winner, and World Athletics still lists many of her results.[9][10][11][12][13]
^All[f] Jeska's athletics results were declared null and void when she failed to produce samples of her testosterone levels.[9]
