CERN Road Race | 7 October

The 2015 edition of the annual CERN Road Race will be held on Wednesday, 7 October at 6.15 p.m.

The 5.5 km race takes place over three laps of a 1.8 km circuit in the West Area of the Meyrin site, and is open to everyone working at CERN and their families. There are runners of all speeds, with times ranging from under 17 minutes to over 34 minutes. The race is run on a handicap basis, by staggering the starting times so that (in theory) all the runners finish together.

Children (< 15 years) have their own race over one lap of 1.8 km. As usual, there will be a “best family” challenge (judging best parent + best child). Trophies are awarded in the usual men’s, women’s and veterans’ categories, and there is a challenge for the best age/performance.

Every adult will receive a souvenir prize, financed by the registration fee of 10 CHF. Children are free (each child will receive a medal).

More information, and the online entry form, can be found here.
