Members of WCC staff are taking part in the 41st edition of the City of Geneva’s annual Escalade race for the third year in a row.
Current staff, together with retired staff, family members and friends, are encouraged to participate in the popular event, which is expected to gather more than 40,000 walkers and runners.
The race is linked with the Fête de l'Escalade, an annual Genevan festival celebrating the defeat of the surprise attack by troops sent by Charles Emmanuel I, Duke of Savoy during the night of 11-12 December 1602.
