The marathon is a single loop that starts and finishes at the Swiss Museum of Transport on the lakeshore. You pass the Kapellbrücke and Wasserturm, run around the Horw peninsula and follow Lake Alpnach to a turn at Alpnachstad. The way back goes through the FC Luzern stadium, the KKL and the old town. The organiser puts the climb at 175 m up and 175 m down, and says GPX files showing 220 m overstate it.
