Successful holding of the New Year's Marathon Zurich 2024

Together with the organizing commitee, we are full of joy and pride that almost 1,000 runners took part in the 19th. edition of the New Year's Marathon in Zurich and made it an outstanding success. Particularly, we are also pleased that we could welcome participants from over 47 countries at our event. The weather was initially dry and mild, although it had rained before the start. Some participants got wet again in the last lap, but the conditions were good and generally excellent. The clear sky and the view of the moon, stars and Fireworks were additional rewards for the runners.
