Route Information
The SOLA Basel relay race with a total of 80 kilometres is divided into 10 stages of 4.3 to 12.3 kilometres each. The 4h SOLA Basel will take place on 5 June 2021. Start and finish area is located at ‘Park im Grünen’ in Münchenstein.
Please note: We are currently drawing up a suitable protection concept so that the 4th SOLA Basel can be held in reality (i.e. not virtually). One thing is already clear: it will not be a mass event as before. That means there will be no mass starts; the runners will start staggered. As soon as our new concept is approved, we will inform you. Thanks to our newsletter you will be kept up to date.
Route maps: Here you will find the individual route maps including information on the changing zones for download. These will also be sent to all participants in printed form with the start number package. (Pleas note that the route may be subject to change.)
