The 59-year-old justice minister from the Jura and the 60-year-old sports minister from Valais “fortunately” agreed to start a few days ago, the organizer announced on Thursday. The Federal Government confirmed participation at the request of the Keystone-SDA news agency. The women’s run will take place for the 37th time on June 11 in the city of Bern.

According to the information, the two magistrates will start in the newly created category “Easy Walk for All” (in German: “Simple run for Everyone”). The three-kilometer route leads through the old town of Bern to the finish on the Bundesplatz raising awareness of breast cancer among all women.

The field of amateur runners is supplemented by former Federal Councilor Ruth Metzler. She has been an active participant in the women’s run for many years. The elite is led by Fabienne Schlumpf, the Swiss marathon record holder. She wants to test her form on the short distance.

The Swiss Women’s Run is Switzerland’s fifth largest running event. The first edition took place in 1987 with 2230 participants. More than 16,000 women attended the 30th anniversary in 2017.
