Jungfraumarathon

Still, runners travel in packs, and packs of tourists bring in bundles of traveler's checks. That's a good enough reason for staging the International Jungfrau-Marathon, which gives 4,000 intrepid runners the chance to struggle uphill from Interlaken to Kleine Scheidegg in September. The 26-mile (40-km) course starts at 1854 ft. (565 m) and twists its way through the Lauterbrunnen Valley, up a mountainside to Wengen, and across Alpine meadows before climbing the final leg to Kleine Scheidegg at 6857 ft. (2090 m). Nearly half the course is over unpaved hiking trails or mountain paths, and the official literature for the race warns:
For those who make it to the top, there are hot showers, medals, diplomas, and prizes up of to 10,000 Swiss francs. But this race isn't about money--it's about prestige and survival.
