Geneva’s Escalade Race has smashed its registration record once again – but is it now full?
For its 47th edition, nearly 60,000 runners signed up, a 4.4% increase over last year.
Women made up a slight majority of participants, and most runners came from the canton of Geneva.
Saturday’s popular races enjoyed dry weather, but children and elite athletes faced steady drizzle on Sunday.
Still, crowds packed Place Neuve and Bourg-de-Four in strong spirits.
Organizing committee president Jerry Maspoli says he’s delighted - but warns the event is nearing capacity, and future editions may be capped at around 60,000 participants.
