The Lausanne Marathon is an annual marathon race held in the Swiss city of Lausanne since 1993. The road race generally takes place in October, while the 20 km of Lausanne takes place in April. A half marathon and multiple 10-kilometre (6.2 mi) races (run, walk, and Nordic walk) are also held.

The Lausanne Marathon is one of the largest annual sporting events of the Canton de Vaud,[citation needed] and attracts up to 2,500 tourists each year.
