Escalade Run
Alumni, students, faculty and friends of the International School of Geneva (Ecolint) around the world also mark the event in an evening gathering. Since 1978 there has been another element to the celebration of the Escalade, with a road running event being held the weekend of or preceding the night of the 11th (depending on whether or not the 11th falls on a weekend). The run traditionally starts in the parc des Bastions and goes through the Old City of Geneva, before finishing near the start again. It is one of the most significant annual events in Geneva. To partake in the Escalade race, people register and pay online or by mail. When registering, people have to specify which race they want to run. There are options for male races and female races for different age groups classified under year of birth and in some cases with which institution (for example with Ecolint at different grade levels). Besides the regular runs, there are three other major races: the Duke's race which is exclusive for adults and it costs 45 CHF, the Walking and Nordic Walking races for the ages of 10+ cost 27 CHF and the Marmite adults and youth races which cost 26 CHF and 16 CHF respectively. In recent years, participants in the race started wearing group t-shirts and creative costumes to the run making it a continuation of the parade. After each race the results are announced and the best results of each race get published in the Tribune de Genève. The sponsors of the Escalade run include UBS, MIGROS, Aeschbach, SIG, Hôpitaux Universitaires de Genève, Tribune de Genève, one Fm and Léman Bleu.
