Frauenfelder Militärwettmarsch
Frauenfelder Militärwettmarsch is a 42.2 km military march held in Frauenfeld, Switzerland, in November.
The organiser describes the Waffenlauf as a traditional Swiss specialty among endurance sports. Participants cover 42.2 km between Frauenfeld and Wil (SG) in full military gear, on the same course and with the same 520 metres of elevation gain as the marathon.
It is part of Der Frauenfelder, which also includes a marathon, a half marathon of 21.2 km run one way from Wil to Frauenfeld, and a junior race over the half marathon distance for set birth years. Marathon, half marathon, junior and military march runners share the same course, which sets the event apart.
