Reid takes out Swiss half marathon

Reid said he was keen to race in Switzerland after a successful turn in Spain, where the rising star of Australian half-distance running placed 71st overall and fourth in the under-23 category at the Valencia Half Marathon last week.

“I heard [Lucerne] was a good race so I thought I would come and give it a try,” Reid said post-race.

“I came for a few races in Europe, I was in Valencia last week.

“It was a really amazing race, I’ve never done it before and the crowds were really good, thanks everyone for cheering me on.”

This comes after a strong showing from Reid in the Melbourne Marathon in early October, placing third in the 10km run.
