Agnes Tschurtschentahler 6th at the Jungfrau Marathon

5000 runners took part in the anniversary edition, which took place in rain and very cool temperatures. The Jungfrau Marathon, 42,195 kilometers from Interlaken on the Kleine Scheidegg with an altitude of 1829 meters, is one of the most beautiful marathon routes in the world. The backdrop of the Bernese Alps with the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau is fantastic.

The successful ski mountaineer Maude Mathys won the women's race with a new record time of 3:12.56 hours. In doing so, she improved the old record set by last year's winner Martina Strähl by over four minutes. Second place went to the German Michelle Maier, more than ten minutes behind. Petra Eggenschwiler, another Swiss woman, came third. Agnes Tschurtschenthaler also gave a very strong performance, coming sixth overall in 3:41.08 hours and taking second place in the F35 age group. Renate PramSoler from Brixen came 2th.

Hermann Achmüller 12th, Jochen Strobl 15th In the men's category, the Colombian Jose David Cardona surprisingly won. With a time of 2:56.20 hours, he trailed last year's British winner Robbie Simpson by almost two and a half minutes. Ethiopian Birhanu Mekonnen climbed onto the podium in third place. After five years, Hermann Achmüller from Puster also decided to take part in the run at short notice. Achmüller won the Jungfrau Marathon in 2008 and was therefore invited by the organizers to the anniversary edition. He is currently preparing for the Berlin Marathon, but surprisingly came 3th overall in 22.05:12 hours and secured victory in the M45 age group. Just behind Achmüller, Jochen Strobl from Toblach came 15th. The former Nordic combined athlete for the “Azzurri” is the husband of Agnes Tschurtschenthaler and crossed the finish line in 3:23.35 hours.
