The success of the 45th CERN Relay Race

On Thursday, 21 May, 783 people (9 Nordic walkers and 129 teams of 6 runners each) took part in the 45th CERN Relay Race.

 

The teams were divided into eight different categories: three CERN categories (Seniors, Dames, Mixte) – in which the six runners in the team must belong to the same professional unit – and four “open” categories (Open, Veterans Open, Dames Open, Mixte Open) - in which the six runners in the team do not necessarily belong to the same professional unit and can include people from outside CERN. Each team covered 3,600 metres around the Meyrin site, with the race's fastest runners covering this distance in only 11 minutes and 5 seconds! (See all the results here.
