Description:See you on December 7 & 8, 2024 for the 46th edition of the most popular running race in Geneva's Old Town. Registrations are open until November 18, 2024, according to the limits set.
A joyous sporting and popular festival, the Escalade Race brings together, every first or second weekend of December, an impressive number of runners: there were more than 46,000 participants in 2023, positioning the event, by far, in first place among foot races in Switzerland and among the most important in Europe.
The subtlety of the event lies in the dual mission that its Committee has given itself.
- The Race must be popular, welcoming and beneficial in order to work for the community, by raising awareness among the population of the benefits of regular physical activity.
- The Race must also be highly competitive and coveted by national and international elites, the latter offering a quality show and serving as an example to young people.
This ingenious mix of joy and seriousness brings together public institutions, sponsors and partners, schools and associations working in a collective effort, in the magic of the Geneva winter, to promote the values of the Race: pleasure, respect, solidarity, integration and excellence.
