Mission

We promote athletics in all forms of competitive and recreational sport with the aim of improving physical and mental performance.
And with a healthy dose of fun.

Weltklasse Zürich | since 1928

People in Switzerland enjoy staying active and regularly engage in sport, making Switzerland one of the most physically active countries worldwide. Athletics, with its universal fundamental movement skills – running, jumping and throwing – provides the perfect foundation for an active and healthy lifestyle. Athletics is accessible to everyone, regardless of age, gender or social, economic or cultural background.

As a national brand with global reach, Weltklasse Zürich embraces its social responsibility. We inspire people in Switzerland and around the world to pursue a healthy, active and sustainable lifestyle, while continuously contributing to the physical and mental performance of both young and old.

Through our commitment to elite athletics, grassroots sport and youth development – from major international events to community and sustainability initiatives – we actively promote movement, inclusion and long-term engagement in sport. Our mission is to strengthen athletics as a lifelong sport and to inspire future generations.

We never stop motivating people to discover the joy of movement, reach their personal goals and become part of the global athletics community.
