With its unique panorama of the Alps and its terrain typical of the Jura ridges, Sainte-Croix will host the first stage of the Switzerland National Series during a Trifecta weekend and a night sprint race on Friday, June 12, and Saturday, June 13, 2026.
‎‎‎
Three distances are available: the 5K night sprint, the Super 10K, Spartan's iconic distance, and the Beast 21K.
Children will also be in the spotlight at the Spartan KIDS event, which will also take place on Saturday.
And above all, those who come with family and friends to share great sporting emotions and spend a weekend in a magnificent setting!
‎‎
Organized in Switzerland by Gorilla Corporation Sàrl, this international sporting event has been initiated and coordinated at the regional level by the Association pour le Développement du Nord vaudois (ADNV) and the Commune of Sainte-Croix since 2021. After three successful editions and steady growth in the number of participants, the ADNV is stepping down from the organizing committee and will resume its role as a privileged promotional partner in 2025.
