The OCHSNER SPORT Zurich Marathon is a special race. The flat course through the heart of the city attracts big crowds and runners from around the world. It also means fast times are likely – and a great time is guaranteed, whether you’re running the full, the half, the Z10 10K, or just driving up the decibel levels from the crowd. 

To celebrate this highlight of the Swiss running calendar in our home city,On is hosting a series of community events. From training to pre-race, on the big day and beyond, we’ll help you make more of your Zurich Marathon experience.

Now that you know about the key moments during race week, it’s time to prepare for the big day. And finding the right gear for your goals goes a long way towards achieving them. Here come our recommendations:

Feel nothing, so you can put everything on the line

The right gear won’t move the finish line any closer to you. But it can make you want run all day. How we achieve that? It all starts with cutting-edge cushioning technology to keep your legs churning with ease. Like the computer-optimized CloudTec Phase® midsole of the all-new Cloudsurfer.

On top of that, the right running apparel will make you will feel nothing. So you can focus on the push from the crowd and the adrenaline shooting through your veins as you approach the finish line. Lightweight, breathable, sweat-wicking and supportive – we developed these mighty pieces to let you experience the ultimate distraction-free race day.

Sometimes even the smallest details make a huge difference – like drinking on the run, instead of stopping at each aid station. Or like wearing truly performance-optimized socks and a cap to block out the sun. Our collection of high-performance accessories packs the punch you need to uncork all of your running potential.
