An overview of Obstacle Races & Mud Runs in Switzerland.

The dates for all Obstacle Runs and Dirt Runs in Switzerland, including registration, course, results and other details.

In Switzerland, a little more than 20 obstacle runs are held each year.

In such runs, which are also often referred to as Obstacle Runs, Mud Runs or Dirt Runs, the runners not only run along a course, but also encounter artificial and natural obstacles along the way that have to be overcome by the participants.

These can be, for example, mud pits or high walls that must be overcome on the way to the finish. Most of these runs consist of about 15 - 20 obstacles. The course lengths go from about 5 km to 20 km.
