RUSH Season 2: Noel Schläfli's race across Switzerland has started

RUSH is back: the first episode of season 2 has been available for free on YouTube since Sunday, November 1, 2026, 5 pm. New episodes arrive roughly every seven days.

This time, seven participants take on the challenge: Elin, Loris, Maelo, Timur, Flavio, Simi and Nico. They are dropped somewhere in Switzerland and have a maximum of 78 hours to reach a goal about 150 kilometres away – with no digital navigation. The big question: who will find the best route and use their jokers most cleverly?

In Noel Schläfli's format, participants race from a secret starting point to a secret finish, mostly on foot. Public transport is only available through a limited number of jokers, and they carry little more than a map, a phone for contacting the organizers, basic gear and a small budget. Since the participants film everything themselves, you get an up-close look at how they choose their routes, find places to sleep and push through cold and exhaustion.
