City Event

Launched in 2018, the City Event is a unique, free, and open-to-all athletics competition held in the vibrant center of Lausanne on the eve of the Athletissima meeting. Each year, a different discipline takes the spotlight, and since 2023, this dynamic showcase has been part of the Diamond League circuit, attracting top global athletes such as Gianmarco Tamberi, Armand Duplantis, Nicola Olyslagers, and Yaroslava Mahuchikh.

Blending elite performances with iconic urban settings, the City Event delivers an unforgettable experience—where world-class sport meets the electric energy of city life.

In 2025, the City Event returns to the picturesque Place de la Navigation in Ouchy on Tuesday, August 19—don’t miss it!
