NEWSLETTER

Just a few more days and we will be all joining in Vaduz for the start of the first edition of Crossing Switzerland. We trust that you are ready and in great form to start this amazing adventure together with around 200 runners from over 20 countries. Our organisation team, together with a large amount of volunteers during the race itself, have done everything we could to make the race a lasting positive memory for all of us. 
You will visit the most beautiful sceneries and views that most people in the world, not even the Swiss itself, have seen with their own eyes. So while you are on the tracks don't forget to absorb the beauty as well.
