About the Event

The Fribourg by Night Trail is a legendary and challenging 34 km night run through the historic city of Fribourg, Switzerland. Held in mid-December, this unique event embraces the winter night, guiding runners through the city's illuminated old town, across its iconic bridges, and along dark, cold valleys and rivers. The course is famous for its 1,200 meters of elevation gain, steep staircases, and a mix of cobblestone paths and forested trails. It's a true test of endurance against the elements, offering a uniquely atmospheric and demanding experience for dedicated trail runners.
