Vitaliy Shafar wins Jungfrau Marathon
4000 runners start at the Jungfrau Marathon. The winner crossed the finish line after just over three hours.
Vitaliy Shafar mastered the 42.195 kilometers and 1953 meters of altitude the fastest and took victory at the Jungfrau Marathon 2024. The Ukrainian mastered the route from Interlaken to Kleine Scheidegg in 3.04.10 - the last meters on what is probably the steepest red carpet in the world and to great applause.
Third and thus the best Swiss was Dominic Rolle. In the women's race, the victory went to Susanna Saapunki. The Finn is not only a good skier, she has also already scored World Cup points in cross-country skiing.
"The Swiss government wishes you all the best, enjoy the run in this wonderful weather," said Federal Councillor Albert Rösti into the microphone before he gave the go-ahead with a shot. The participants stood in individual sections: the elite at the front of the start gate and those who will probably reach the finish at 2320 meters the latest, further back on the Höheweg.
None of them are completely alone on the road: 1500 helpers are on duty, 160 medical professionals, there are 22 first aid stations and 22 defibrillators. Food is available at 22 stations. On the way, they occasionally see relatives who make clever use of the Jungfrau Railways railway system. And the population of the transit communities gives courage with applause.
