Arguably one of the most picturesque city marathons in Europe! Register Now!
The 16th edition of the Harmony Geneva Marathon for Unicef takes place on 9th & 10th May 2020. In 2019, more than 138 global destinations signed up for one of the eight events and discovered the course in the countryside nestled between mountains and the shore of Lake Geneva before finishing in the heart of the city in front of the famous Jet d’Eau.

The Marathon, Marathon Relay, Half-Marathon and Wheelchair race will be held on Sunday 10th May. Runners will stream through the countryside, following a route renowned for its beauty, nestled between the shores of lake Geneva and snow-capped peaks of the Alps and Jura mountains. The closing stretch takes participants through the heart of Geneva before crossing the finish line on the Pont du Mont-Blanc, with a stunning view of the famous Jet d’Eau in the distance.
On Saturday 9th May, a number of other race formats will be available for both juniors and adults. These include the 10km open to runners and walkers, La Genevoise #LikeAGirl by Always 6km race for women and the Junior Races.

Italy has been in our hearts throughout this difficult period. As things are finally starting to get better let’s celebrate this courageous country with two of its greatest wines.
Barolo and Barbaresco, two wine regions that share much but are also very different. Two unique expressions of the same grape variety which we’ll explore together drinking two wines brought to us by Wine Insiders Geneva.
The cost is 100 CHF and it includes:
* delivery of the 2 wines to your door. — There is no need to open both bottles on the same night but if you decide to open them you can keep them in the fridge for at least a week.
* a fun online wine tasting full of very useful information on how to evaluate wine and an overview of both wine regions,
* wine tasting notes, a wine tasting guide and wine vocabulary,
* food pairing ideas to prepare before the tasting if you want to nibble on something while we drink the wines.
Italian restaurant Karne has prepared a choice of three special dishes for those of you who live in Geneva.
* Salumeria – Assortment of cheese and charcuterie
* Fagottini al Tartufo – fresh truffle filled pasta in a creamy truffle sauce.
* Involtini di Manzo – Roules de boeuf, filled with cheese and truffles accompanied with seasonal vegetables.
Each choice costs 35chf per person and is optional.
The food will be available for take away from the restaurant or delivery (at an extra cost)
We will do the tasting online through Zoom.
Due to delivery restrictions this event is available to those living in canton Geneva and canton Vaud up to Lausanne. RSVP until Thursday 14th May.
