20km de Paris: more impressive performances in support of Pasteurdon

Topping off a week dedicated to the 15th edition of Pasteurdon, the famous "20km de Paris" race was held on Sunday October 10. Some 50 Institut Pasteur staff took part, all brimming with energy and enthusiasm and determined to combine their sporting prowess with their support for Pasteurdon.

Although it was a chilly autumn morning as the runners took to the start line under the Eiffel Tower, the Institut Pasteur's participants put in some great performances. The first Pasteurian to complete the course posted a time of just 1 hour 19 minutes, and the first of the Institut Pasteur's female runners crossed the line in just 1 hour 28 minutes.

For the occasion, all the runners sported bibs featuring the Pasteurdon colors. A few even decided to take things one step further and donned a colorful lab coat – the symbol of this anniversary Pasteurdon – for the entire duration of the prestigious race!

Huge congratulations to all those who took part. We hope to see you again next year!
