Day 1: Amunì compà, Uma & Marco race to Sicily! 46.46km from Zeiningen to Laufen
"Even the longest journey begins with a first step" (Confucius)
A tired and trite phrase, but no less true! Roughly speaking, there are about 2,222,222 steps waiting for Marco and a few more for Uma until we reach our destination in Giardini-Naxos.
The route:
The first stage, on April 21, 2025, took us from the tranquil Wegenstettertal valley to Rheinfelden, along the Rhine to Birsfelden, and finally along the Birs River to Laufen. A total distance of 46.46 km and 280 meters of elevation gain.
Good? Bad? Ugly?
We had ideal running weather: cloudy, a little rain now and then, and even sunshine at the end.
The absolute highlight was the snacks. Mountain guide bread made according to Claudia Stalder's secret recipe – incredibly delicious and enjoyed by both Marco and Uma!
Be there!

Coop-Zeitung vom 23.10.25:
Hallo Marco, ich gratuliere einfach nur zur grandiosen Einstellung, damit du deinen Geburtsort Giardini-Naxos joggend erreicht hast. Ich bin eine Schuh-Nr. bescheidener und paar Jahre älter, habe auch erst mit 62 meinen Marathon in Luzern „gefinisht“ Also, weiterhin viel Power und Spass bei deinen Unternehmungen. Gruss vom Fritz
