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 by 28 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.

All the results of the questions are available here.

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

Run the most difficult part of the race…the quickest possible

How does it work?

Speed contest on a few segments of the race. Send your best runner to those legs to be the fastest.

The segments will be delimited at the beginning of the segment and at the end of the segment.

Segments

• Segment 1: Start at relay point number 1 (between Vevey and Puidoux): 700m in the vineyards - slope 13%
• Segment 2: Start at relay point number 3 (between Pully and Lausanne): 1 lap of 400m in Stade Coubertin
• Segment 3: Start at relay point 8 (between Rolle and Gland): 1km flat along the railway line in Bursinel

The results

There will be a classification by segment but it is the team that is the fastest on the different segments cumulated that will win the challenge.

Once all the teams have completed the segments, the result will be posted here and broadcast on our social networks.

BE CAREFUL

A bib has been specially designed for this challenge, it is white and contains a timing chip (all other numbers are blue). Do not make the mistake of running without the number provided for this purpose, otherwise your performance will not be taken into account in the ranking ...
