A big group of Momentum runners on an evening run in St.Gallen

From spontaneous group runs to a cornerstone of student life.

Momentum started in 2024 as a student-led initiative with a passion for running and community. Eight months of planning later, the University of St.Gallen officially recognised the club in April 2025. Today we train in partnership with Unisport and travel together to races across Switzerland.

Whether you're here to clear your head between lectures, build consistency, or chase a new personal best, you'll find a community that values progress over pace.

All levels

First 5 km or fifth marathon, every run has a pace group for you. Nobody gets dropped.

Events

We regularly plan great events to network: from social runs and matcha stops to talks and apéros with other HSG clubs.
