About me

I’m Marcel R. Saluz, a passionate runner and co-founder of the Pacer running team. I’ve been participating in road races and trail races for many years – from marathons to ultramarathons. As a dedicated streak runner, I know the power of daily exercise.

Professionally, I have many years of experience in management positions, including as Managing Director at Tchibo (Switzerland) AG.
I know what it feels like to perform under pressure and how much running helps develop focus, balance, and mental strength.
