The Escalade races are on in Geneva this weekend.


Police are warning of major traffic disruption – and recommend that all spectators and runners should take public transport. But check on routes first, as many bus lines will also be changed. 

Several parking spaces will be closed and the police say that any car that’s parked in a space that’s due to close will be removed at the owner’s expense tomorrow morning.

The races are on tomorrow and Sunday. 

Closed roads will start to reopen after 7 pm on Sunday.
