Today’s the big day. 5000 runners from 56 countries will run the toughest marathon in the world. The course starts down in Interlaken and finishes up at Kleine Scheidegg. 

It’s a cool, wet day, but the whole village will turn out to cheer on the runners. Athlete’s view of the main street.

Band playing.

Of course lots of locals take part. Here’s our neighbour Jana. She finished with an incredible time of 4 hours 34 minutes.

Beanie. 5 hours 38 minutes. 

Sandro. 6 hours 10 minutes.

Look at all the litter. An hour after the last runners go through it will all be gone.

And here’s the winner. Jose Cardona from Columbia, with a frankly unbelievable time of 2 hours 56 minutes.
