| Ekiden-Marathon |
 |
The Ekiden-Marathon starts in the Freie Strasse near the Barfüsserplatz . After passing the Freie Strasse and the St. Alban Graben, the runners cross the Wettsteinbrücke. They continue from the Theodorskirchplatz, passing Kartausgasse and Riehentorstrasse down to the Rhine, which all runners follow to the Mittlere Brücke – enjoying the great panoramic view of the old town.
This short piece of route is also part of the marathon and half marathon, so ekiden runner get the chance to breathe some “marathon air”. Shortly before arriving at the bridge, participants will have to take a right turn into Wilde-Ma Gässli, followed by a left turn into Rheingasse. Another sharp left turn takes runners bake to the Mittlere Brücke, and back to the Marktplatz and the Freie Strasse where the transition area is situated.
