30th Jungfrau Marathon
Anticipation and respect
At the 2023 Jungfrau Marathon, we’ll be following Sarah and Reto before, during and after the world’s most beautiful marathon. This is the first time the pair have tackled the 42.195-kilometre course with 1,953 metres of elevation gain.
A stubborn runner
Reto (34) lives in Aarberg. He is married to Sarah. The father of two works as a data scientist. He trains at the gymnastics club, is part of a running group and, as a keen paraglider, enjoys spending time in the mountains. In the video, you can find out how he got into running, which marathons he has already completed, why he once turned up at the start line wearing two left-foot socks, what the consequences were, and much more.
«Respect for the very last ‹bit›»
Sarah (34) lives in Aarberg. She is married to Reto. The mother of two will be studying conservation and restoration at the HKB in Bümpliz from September. In her spare time, she enjoys playing volleyball for a local club. Watch the video to find out how she got into running, why she’s taking part in the Jungfrau Marathon, how often she trains, and much more.
