01 / EVENT OVERVIEW
What defines this edition.
This guide covers the women’s race on the opening Sunday of Engadin Marathon Week. The 14 March marathon and half marathon, night race and individual event have separate starts and rules. All times below are local Europe/Zurich, CET (UTC+01:00 on race day).
Skating and classic skiing are allowed. Classic tracks are normally on the right and prepared where weather permits; skating in them is prohibited. Narrow sections use free technique. The organiser describes a mostly flat 17 km route with small rises; this is an endurance event, not an assurance of suitability or present trail access.
Historical: the currently linked start, shared course and S-chanf finish plans have 2026 filenames. Unconfirmed: final 2027 routing, refreshment-post positions, controlled entrances and accessible surfaces. The pin and archive photograph do not certify those details; follow final signs and officials.
Women born in 2012 or earlier may enter; no general qualifying result is required. Previous 2025/2026 Frauenlauf results determine seeded blocks. New entrants may choose the main recreational blocks by expected time; Elite/Elite A applications require qualifying evidence. Capacity and acceptance still apply; read the organiser’s complete eligibility rules.

The pin is not the gate.
Promulins 12, 7503 Samedan is the venue’s published address; the rounded pin follows Swiss federal address data. It is a planning reference for bib collection/start-area approach, not a surveyed start line, accessible entrance or drop-off. The race finishes separately in S-chanf.
The participant fee includes one second-class journey into and out of the Graubünden public-transport network: Frauenlauf arrival 4–7 March and return by 9 March 2027. Landquart–Chur is valid only on Rhätische Bahn. The personalised ticket is due with the bib voucher in late February; the bib covers specified race-Sunday transfers. Spectators must arrange their own valid tickets.

It lists a Kiss & Go at Aldi in Cho’d Punt, Samedan, with start shuttles 08:00–10:40, plus paid Samedan parking. Unconfirmed: the complete special 7 March train/bus timetable and final return from S-chanf; the access page says it will be published at the beginning of the year.
