About the event

The LGT Alpin Marathon, the only marathon in the Principality of Liechtenstein, is a unique event - it's the only one of its kind that takes runners through a whole country! Starting from the flat Rhine valley and passing the Princely Castle in Vaduz, runners make their way up to the stunning mountain scenery of Liechtenstein. It's the first mountain marathon of the season, and celebrated its 15th year in 2015. With 1800 meters in altitude uphill and 650 meters of altitude downhill, this is a challenging marathon experience. In 2007, the Half Marathon PLUS was added to the program, and in 2015 an even more unique experience was offered - the relay, which allows two people to share the distance. It's time to set a new exclusive milestone on your marathon map - discover the LGT Alpin Marathon in Liechtenstein!

LGT Alpin Marathon in Liechtenstein is one of my mountain marathon favorites.Coming from Germany Liechtenstein is much easier to reach than many other mountain marathons, and it is not difficult to get a ticket. I started in Liechtenstein two times - 2005 and 2017. In 2017 we were 365 finishers, which made the run very familiar. If it fits into my schedule I will come back sooner or later to Liechtenstein. The scenery is beautiful and comparable to the Jungfrau Marathon in Interlaken. The first 10 kilometers from Bendern to Vaduz are flat, and then you begin to run uphill. In total you have to climb up 1870 meters and to step down 720 meters, which is not too hard. However, it is hard that you pass Malbun at km 39 and you can hear the announcements for the runners at the finish line, but you still have to do very hilly three kilometers. This is a little bit mean. Nevertheless, the beautiful views at the mountains and the warm and personal welcome at the finish pay for your struggle against the course. After the run the shuttle service will bring you back savely to the starting place in Bendern.
