About this race
EcoTrail Genève is a trail and walking race series in Geneva, Switzerland, typically held in early June. It provides 10 km, 20 km, 30 km, and 46 km options, allowing runners to select from a short, low-climb route to a challenging trail day with significant elevation. The longest race, Whitout Limits, ascends 1,430 m, and the 30 km Run Forest includes 1,270 m of gain. The 20 km Fast & Curious route and 20 km walk both climb 590 m, with the 10 km Chicken Run and 10 km walk offering gentler ascents of 70 m.
The event is part of the broader EcoTrail network, connecting city-based trail races focused on sport, nature, and environmental responsibility. Geneva’s event aligns with this by combining urban peripheries with natural terrain, featuring forest paths, lakes, and ponds. It caters not only to trail runners seeking distance; walking categories offer the same course to individuals preferring to experience the route without competition. The series emphasizes inclusion, accessibility, and lower-impact sports in its core mission.
