The new edition of the Ekiden took place on Sunday, October 8. This six-runner relay marathon has become an unmissable sporting event in Grenoble within a few years. It was fully booked at the start, with 600 teams registered.

The event's convivial atmosphere is largely attributed to the relay zone provided at the starting line and its 'open to all' nature. Alongside athletic clubs, numerous companies (accounting for two-thirds of participants!) utilize this opportunity to run with colleagues and foster team spirit away from the workplace.

For its inaugural participation, VÊPRES assembled two mixed teams. Beyond their commendable respective rankings, all participants appreciated the warm and collegial atmosphere of this collective challenge.
