Celebrating athletics in the heart of Lausanne
The Track Festival, the prelude to the Athletissima meeting, brings Lausanne to life in the week leading up to the event. Located in Ouchy on the Place de la Navigation, on the shores of Lake Geneva, it offers a unique experience, combining sport and festivity.
This free event, open to all, brings together Athletissima’s flagship activities, including the Kids Training, Meet the Stars, the Mini-Stars Relay and the City Event. Also on the menu: a jog, introductory sessions to athletics for schools, challenges and competitions. Join us to celebrate athletics and experience a week of positive energy at the Track Festival!
