She used the competition-free time during the COVID-19 pandemic to re-orient towards marathon running. In her first marathon race ever (Belp, April 3rd, 2021) she not only fulfilled the time cutoff to participate at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, but with 2:26:14 hours she improved the Swiss record for female marathon runners.[5]

Schlumpf ran her second marathon race at the Olympic Games in Tokyo and was placed 12th with 2:31:36 hours.[6]
