Runistra: the race of records

22.09.2017

An ideal time: neither too hot nor too cold, with a good ray of sun.
A 5 km course, 2 long loops through the campus and its construction sites.
12:30, the fourth edition of the Runistra can start.

As the other years the IBMP answers present and aligns 7 riders. Audrey, Laurence, Arnaud, David, Kevin, Mathieu and Salah, constitute the “Running crops team”, encouraged along the way by Géraldine, Léon, Danièle, Célia … The two big favorites are Mathieu and Laurence, the quickest in this order of previous editions. Mathieu intends to renew his performance. He announced his race strategy: a first lap not too fast, the second lap at full speed. Laurence, for her part, did not reveal anything … They run side by side during the first loop, side by side they sail under the lime trees, side by side they run along the IPCB, but 200 m before arrival , Laurence accelerates. Matthieu distanced, can not remake his yet very slight delay: he arrives behind his competitor and nevertheless colleague. His pride may have suffered, but, fair play, he congratulates his rival, who received a prize for her 3rd place among women. Arnaud, David, Kevin and Audrey all cross the finish line less than 20 minutes after the start. In their stride, Salah, the veteran of the team of Running crops, finishes the race. He is happy, he beat his own record by going under the 25 minute mark!

Congratulations to our 7 dashing sportsmen. Congratulations to them! Next year we expect more IBMP representatives to compete for the newest prize of the biggest team, because this year the IBMP could not compete with the winning team and its 10 members.
Rendez-vous is given in September 2018, to the runners and supporters, for the 5 th edition of the Runistra!
