CHALLENGES TO RISE ABOVE, DURING AND AFTER THE RACE

Become the king of the Geneva Lake Quiz

How does it work?

The quiz is composed of approximately 26 questions, 1 per relay point. When you pass through each relay point, you will find a sheet with 1 question and 3 answers to choose from (1 true, 2 false). The Mates will have to go on each relay point to get the questions. These will be about the culture and the history of the Lake Geneva area.

You will need to scan the QR code with your mobile phone to get the question online. Don’t worry, you don’t need an app to scan the QR code, you can use the camera of your phone to do it.

You answer it and that’s it.

The results

The team with the most correct answers will win this challenge.

Dress up! This year we’re going green.

Dress up! Find your best costumes. Before the start of your race, we will take a photo of your team in front of the magnificent Lake Geneva.

Once all the team are gone running, we will publish a photo album on our Facebook page with all your team photos. You will only have a few hours to share your photo with your contacts in order to get the most of “likes” possible.

On your bins… ready… Pick up your organic waste !

During the race

1. Pick up your organic waste

On the day of the race, your team will receive 2 organic waste bins in which you will be able to collect organic waste: apple cores, banana skins…all food remains can get in it* !

2. Weigh it upon arrival

Bring back your bins on arrival at the Energiapro booth to have them checked and weighed.

The team that will have collected the heaviest amount of organic waste will receive a vitamin-enriched prize.

After the race

3. A second life and so much energy !

The collected waste during the race will be brought to Ecorecyclage, a production plant for biogas near Morges. There it will be fermenting in a digester and be transformed in biogas.

4. Multiple purposes

The biogas will then be injected in the gas network served by Energiapro. It will be used for heating and cooking purposes as well as for fuel.

* fruit, vegetables, peelings, fish, dairy products, meat, raw or cooked meal remains, coffee ground (no coffee caps), tea bags
