COURSE DE L’ESCALADE 2024
7-8 December 2024
Geneva
8 different running courses through the old town of Geneva take place over this weekend. If you aren't signed up to participate in the serious or silly ones, then make sure to stand on the sidelines to cheer on the runners. "La Course de la Marmite" on Saturday evening is a non-competitive race where the important thing is to have fun while moving. Therefore, there are no rankings or awards. Most runners are wearing disguises and costumes and is really fun to watch. Click here for more information.
