PasteuRun, Vivons Vélo: on foot or by bike, every kilometer counts to support Pasteurdon!

• Focus on PasteurRun

For the 18th edition of Pasteurdon, the Institut Pasteur is inviting companies and individuals to take part in a virtual run for charity.

From October 9 to October 27, 2024, participants can sign up to the PasteuRun app, designed specially for the campaign, and cover as many kilometers as possible (running or walking) in support of the Institut Pasteur's scientists.

Companies will be able to mobilize their employees to help raise the counter, as will individuals wishing to take part in this solidarity challenge.

For Pasteurians, free registration for the PasteuRun application will be available from October 4.

How to register (in French)

First challenge: the first 50 of you to register will receive running accessories!

And make sure you tell your friends and family about PasteuRun and encourage them to sign up via this link – don't forget to let them know that €10 will be donated to the Institut Pasteur from the €15 sign-up fee.

• Vivons Vélo: join in a cycle ride and treasure trail in Vincennes on October 12!

This year, Pasteurdon partner AG2R LA MONDIALE is organizing a fun cycle ride on October 12 near Vincennes.
