CANCELLED - Gornergrat Zermatt Marathon

The Gornergrat Zermatt Marathon 2024 will not take place - the entire event is canceled, all distances are affected! After the severe weather in Zermatt a week ago, this year's Gornergrat Zermatt was on the brink of being canceled. Thanks to a special effort by all those involved, in particular the Matterhorn Gotthard Railway, the municipality of Zermatt and Zermatt Tourism, the traditional running event should still have gone ahead. However, the renewed thunderstorms that caused further devastating damage in Zermatt, the Matter and Saas valleys and throughout the canton of Valais on Sunday night made it necessary to reassess the situation. The entire event is canceled, all distances are affected! - During the night from Saturday to Sunday, there was further devastating damage in the Zermatt region, in the Matter and Saas valleys and throughout the canton of Valais - we received the first thunderstorm warning on Friday afternoon, 24 hours after our decision. - The renewed severe storms have caused further major damage to the race route, particularly between St. Niklaus and Zermatt, and the route is impassable in places - In addition, numerous EDEL helpers: inside the event are personally affected by the storms
