The most popular run in Switzerland took part yesterday in Geneva.
Around 27'000 persons ran it (it's not the Sun run, but compare to Swiss population is not bad) from 6 years old till 89yo.
It's a pretty fun run and short one (4,8km for women and 7.3km for men), which egals with a fast run. Usually after the run we all say "Oh my God, I ran it too fast" but the atmosphere is so great that you forget about the pain!
About the story of Escalade...to make it short...on the 12th of December 1602, les Savoyards (French) tried to conquer Geneva by night, but they didn't succeed! So every year on the 12th of December Geneva is having memorials about that day and people are dressing up. And every first saturday of December, La course de l'Escalade is taking part!
