About the Frauenfelder Marathon
First run in 1934, the Frauenfelder is one of Switzerland's traditional late-season marathons. It shares the day with a military march and attracts runners who value history and difficult road terrain over a flat time trial.
Course
The out-and-back route links Frauenfeld with Wil across rolling countryside. Repeated climbs accumulate in both directions, and the return to Frauenfeld makes conservative early pacing especially important.
Race-day weather
Mid-November in Thurgau is often cold, damp, and overcast. Rain, low cloud, or an early wintry spell can make the rural road sections feel considerably tougher.
