I'm going to be in Switzerland this summer for the Matterhornlauf race in August and will be staying for a while after that. Wouldn't mind finding another race to do. Does anyone know of any, or of any way of finding a fixtures calendar?
Cheers!

Cheers Chris. Unfortunately the first one clashes with Matterhornlauf and by the time of the second i'll be back in UK. Jungfrau marathon looks a good 'un though.
Don't know about Switzerland as a whole, but here is a list of events of all kinds in the Valais here. Including, around August:
05/08: Thyon-Dixence (about 10m/+2300'-900'; I guess this is probably too early)
12/08: Sierre-Zinal (roughly 19m/+6600'-3000'; still too early?)
26/08: Marathon des Alpages (4900ish and 3000ish climb for full and half, slightly more downhill than up in both)
02/09: Ovronnaz-Cabane Rambert (5.25/4500')
A list of some orienteering events includes the
11-12/08: R'adys mountain marathon
Hope this helps, and that you enjoy your trip!
Cheers Occidenteer. I like the look of Ovronnaz-Cabane Rambert, but depends when i have to be back at work. Also noticed a couple of undercover forum members in the results (Timo and Natalia!)

Put in the dates you are there and it will give you a list
Cheers HSE. Great site. Looks like there's a few good 'uns there. Will recruit a German speaker to help me translate.
