LGT Alpine Marathon

The 23rd edition of the LGT Alpine Marathon from Bendern to Malbun took place on June 8, 2024.

Over snowfields, over small streams, through large puddles - not really the ideal stomping ground for a long-distance triathlete.

Nevertheless, there was marathon number 456.

Interview in the current issue of “Unterwegs” (“On the Road”)

Presenter Claudia Marty-Eggenberger is on the train with Beat Knechtle, a doctor, professor, and endurance athlete who talks about his everyday life as an ultra-triathlete.

No one in the world has completed as many Ironman triathlons as you: Non-stop, swimming 3.8 kilometers ten times, cycling 180 kilometers, and running 42 kilometers of a marathon. You are also a doctor and have published over 760 scientific papers as a professor at the University of Zurich. How does a person manage that?

Guy Rossi

For over three decades, Guy Rossi has immersed himself in the world of ultra triathlons, swimming, biking, and running with unwavering enthusiasm and passion. His journey began in Colmar in 1987 during the 24 Hours of Triathlon, where he completed eight hours each of swimming, cycling, and running solo. This event marked the beginning of a lifelong affair with the triathlon’s elements—water, wind, and earth—which he had been drawn to since his childhood in Marseille. There, he developed his endurance on the volleyball court, eventually playing for the French university and military teams.
