Great Runs in Basel, Switzerland

Note: For the Full Guide to Running in Basel, see the GR Website

Basel is the third largest city in Switzerland and a major economic center. It’s situated on the Rhine River where Switzerland, France, and Germany meet. The ‘older’ sections of the city are divided into the more significant Grossbasel (Greater Basel) on the south side of the Rhine and the Kleinbasel (Lesser Basel) on the north side. As a fairly industrial city with lots of corporate HQ, the best running in Basel centers on river paths and sections of the old city. Just outside the city, there are good trail running options and roads through farmland.
