EPFL's School of Life Sciences participated in the annual "20KM de Lausanne" race with over 50 people.
The 20 km of Lausanne is a running race that has been taking place every April since 1982. Marking its 35th event this year, the 20KM de Lausanne took place on 23-24 April 2016 with a record 24,691 participants.
As in the previous years, EPFL’s School of Life Sciences (SV) participated again with a team of 56 people from across the entire faculty (from an initial 66 registrants). A number of people from the faculty organized the “SV-running” team, including Nicolas Damien, a PhD student at Professor Felix Naef’s group at EPFL’s Institute of Bioengineering (IBI), and Thomas Lunardi, a lab assistant with Professor Lingner’s group at EPFL’s Swiss Institute for Experimental Cancer Research (ISREC).
“We were not registered as a team, since teams can only have up to 10 people,” says Lunardi. “But if you sum up the times of our best five runners in the 20K men’s race, SV represented a total time of 7:19.15.2 (some SV runners opted for the 10K race). This would put us in the 14th place of the teams’ section." So we have some serious runners in the SV community. Congratulations!
