47e Course de l'Escalade

The Course de l'Escalade is a festive and popular race, the 47th edition of which will take place on Saturday 6 and Sunday 7 December 2025 in Geneva's Old Town.

A joyful, sporting and popular celebration, the Course de l'Escalade brings together runners from all ages every first weekend in December, making it the biggest running events in Switzerland and one of the biggest in Europe.
The subtlety of the event lies in the dual mission that its Committee has set itself:

  • The Race must be popular, welcoming and beneficial in order to do its bit for the community, by raising awareness of the benefits of regular physical activity
  • It must also be highly competitive and coveted by the national and international elite, who provide a quality spectacle and serve as an example to young people.

This ingenious blend of fun and seriousness brings together public institutions, sponsors and partners, schools and associations in a collective effort, in the magic of the Geneva winter, to promote the values of the Race: fun, respect, solidarity, integration and excellence.
