Active at the Luzerner Stadtlauf

Exercise brings people together and promotes good health. As a sponsor of the 2025 Luzerner Stadtlauf (Lucerne City Run), we enabled 1,100 children to take part in the popular school run free of charge and were also at the starting line ourselves – with over 300 MSD employees and their families.

MSD team at the Luzerner Stadtlauf 2025

Luzerner Stadtlauf – more than just sport

Running not only strengthens the body – it also brings people together. We were able to experience this first-hand at the Luzerner Stadtlauf 2025. For over 45 years, it has been one of the most popular fun runs in Switzerland. Every year, it takes over 14,000 runners through the historic old town of Lucerne and attracts more than 25,000 spectators.

The team runs for primary schools are particularly popular. This year, MSD Switzerland covered the entry fees for 1,100 children in grades 3 to 6, enabling many of them to take part in the school run for free for the first time.

„Supporting the Luzerner Stadtlauf is a wonderful opportunity for us to show our commitment to the region and make a positive contribution to health, sport, and young people.“

Dimitri Gitas, Managing Director MSD Switzerland

Our MSD team was at the starting line

Whether young or old, over 300 MSD employees and their families laced up their running shoes and took part in various categories – whether in the company run, individual races, or together as a team. It was fun for the whole family and a successful team event!
