From May 5 to 9, 2027, the sauna world will meet for the fourth time in Schaffhausen (Switzerland). The preparations have begun.
New: An entire sauna weekend with a lift
At the last sauna marathon in February 2026, around 2,000 sauna enthusiasts took part – thank you very much! Based on the experiences of this edition, we are further developing the event: in 2027 the sauna marathon will become an entire sauna weekend. It will take place from April 5 to 9, 2027 – with less stress, more time, and additional experiences around the marathon.
Saturday, May 8, 2027: The Sauna Marathon
The core remains as you know it: The marathon itself takes place on Saturday. We are introducing fewer locations with more saunas per location – so that you can spend more time in the sauna and less time waiting in line. The number of tickets is limited.
Wednesday to Sunday: Additional events around the marathon
On Wednesday evening (May 5th), on the day of the start (May 6th), on Friday (May 7th) and on Sunday (May 9th), you can look forward to a program to enjoy. For example, relaxed, multi-hour sessions in the Russian banja and the Latvian pirts are planned, sociable fountain bathing, exclusive wine and beer tastings with matching sauna infusions, or the legendary warm-up party. The additional events are voluntary and do not count towards the evaluation of the Sauna Marathon.
