Lucerne becomes the stage for the Megamarsch for the first time in March: more than 2,500 participants attempt the 50 km challenge in 12 hours - a new highlight alongside Bern and Schaffhausen.
The first mega march in Lucerne

Lucerne in March: not a tranquil lakeside idyll on Lake Lucerne, but the start and finish line. For the very first time, around 2,500 hiking enthusiasts set off for Central Switzerland to complete their personal 50-kilometer challenge in 12 hours at the Lucerne Megamarsch. With the premiere in Lucerne, the event complements the two Swiss venues of Bern and Schaffhausen and adds another impressive backdrop to the Megamarsch family. The city by the lake thus becomes the sporting stage for a special endurance test for which many of the participants have been preparing for weeks or even months.

The official starting signal for the Megamarsch Luzern 2026 presented by Columbia will be given at 07:30 on 28.03.2026 at Strandbad Lido. From there, the route leads through the diverse landscape around Lucerne.

Focus on challenge and community
The Lucerne 2026 Megamarsch offers participants much more than just completing a 50-kilometre route. The focus is on the personal challenge, overcoming one's own limits and the shared experience in a strong community. The varied route leads through Lucerne and combines cultural sights with sections close to nature. It is not only a sporting challenge, but also creates a unique sense of community among the participants. Whether ambitious long-distance hikers or motivated beginners - the Lucerne Megamarsch appeals to anyone who wants to test their endurance under special conditions. The event offers an organized route, refreshment points and a motivating atmosphere that makes it easier to persevere.
