Institut Pasteur staff take part in "La Parisienne" to support Pasteurdon and defend research

On Sunday September 8, 51 female Institut Pasteur staff members will take to the starting line of the "La Parisienne" race, under the Eiffel Tower, for the fourth year in a row. This year, the runners will be pounding the pavements in aid of the new Pasteurdon campaign, raising awareness of the need to defend research and demonstrating the unwavering commitment of the Institut Pasteur's scientists.

This women-only 7km race in central Paris is not just a sporting challenge – it's also a fun, sociable event to take part in with colleagues and friends.

So why not come and support your colleagues along the course? Everyone is welcome on Sunday at around 10am – let's defend research together!

A second event that upholds the values of both sport and research is also coming up this fall. For the "20km de Paris" race, some 60 Institut Pasteur staff members will set off from the foot of the Eiffel Tower in aid of Pasteurdon.
