About the Adams Health Swiss Days Race
The race runs through Berne during Swiss Days, the town's annual heritage festival, so the streets have more energy than a typical summer morning. The shorter distance is for kids, and the longer route has at least one aid station along the way. Post-race refreshments are out for everyone when they finish.
Packet pickup opens the afternoon before at an information kiosk in the downtown festival area, with race-morning pickup available as well. The start area puts you right in the middle of the festival, so there is plenty to do before and after.

The Adams Health Swiss Days Race has been held every year since at least 2022. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
