Anticipation and respect
For the 2023 edition of the Jungfrau Marathon, we accompany Sarah and Reto before, during and after the most beautiful marathon in the world. This is the first time the two of them have tackled the 42.195 kilometres and 1953 metres in altitude.

A stubborn runner

Sarah (34) lives in Aarberg. She is married to Reto. The mother of two children will be studying conservation and restoration at the HKB in Bümpliz from September. In her free time she likes to play volleyball in the club. Find out how she got into running, why she competes in the Jungfrau Marathon, how often she trains and much more in the video.

"Respect for the last section"

Reto (34) lives in Aarberg. He is married to Sarah. The father of two children works as a data scientist. He trains in the gymnastics club, is in a running group and, as a passionate paraglider pilot, enjoys frequent trips to the mountains. Find out how he got into running, which marathons he has already competed in, why he once started with two left socks, what the consequences were and much more in the video.

The day has come

The race is about to start. We accompany Sarah and Reto as they run in. Only minutes to go until the start on the Höhenmatte in Interlaken. In the video, the two talk about how they feel shortly before their Jungfrau Marathon premiere.
