Race Course

The course is a loop course.  Each loop is about 3.54 km.  12 laps are required to complete the marathon.  From the hotel parking lot, the course proceeds slightly downhill through town for about 400 meters, until one reaches a large parking lot.  This is the turnaround point (will be marked).  Going downhill, we run on the right side of the road.  The course then proceeds uphill (running on the other side of the road).  Once we pass the hotel, the course transitions to a paved surface (like the one shown in the photo).  The course proceeds about 1.3 km uphill.  At this point, there is a right turn (will be marked) onto a gravel/dirt path for about 200 meters to a wooden bridge, which we cross.  After the bridge, the trail is slightly downhill/flat for about 300 meters, then transitions to pavement.  The course continues downhill until the village is reached.  There is a right turn to reach the main road, go 30 meters, cross the street, and turn left and run on the right side to reach the same parking lot again.  At this turnaround, run uphill again to the hotel.  Once you reach the hotel, this completes one lap. In keeping with the alpine nature of Liechtenstein, the course is not easy. The 1.3 km uphill climbs about 100 meters.  Some people will find it more convenient to walk portions of the course.  But the lack of time-cutoffs makes this an easier course.  Everyone will be allowed to finish if they want to finish.
