Event Logistics

The geography of the Forchlauf is defined by the Adlisberg and Forch regions, providing runners with significant shaded sections and natural terrain. The start and finish lines are located at the Sport Center Fluntern, situated near the Zurich Zoo. In early June, Zurich typically sees evening temperatures ranging from 14°C to 20°C, making it a popular timeframe for an evening "Abendlauf."

Logistically, the registration period remains open until June 8, 2026. The event incorporates a charitable component, previously partnering with organizations such as the Rucksackschule for community donations. ASVZ provides administrative support through dedicated race leadership, ensuring organized start waves and infrastructure at the sports center. Results from previous years, including the 2025 event, are archived to allow participants to track their performance history within the local running circuit.
