About
Gian Marchet Schicktanz is a Swiss elite trail runner from Chur and one of Switzerland's most accomplished ultra-distance specialists. Known for combining an experimental approach to training science with bold self-supported mountain adventures in technical alpine terrain, he is a Brooks Running-sponsored athlete with a growing international résumé. His breakthrough result came at the 2022 La Sportiva Lavaredo Ultra Trail in Cortina d'Ampezzo, where he claimed second place in the prestigious 120 km race — among the strongest results by a Swiss athlete at that event in recent years. The following year he took third at the Ultra-Trail Snowdonia by UTMB, adding a second UTMB World Series podium. He has also raced at Zegama-Aizkorri, one of skyrunning's most revered events, and works as a running coach through TrainingPeaks. His stated competitive goals include the Trail World Championships and UTMB Mont-Blanc.
