In the second instalment of the ERN-on-tour-2010, eleven runners and friends travelled to Geneva for a 22km point-to-point race. Held mostly on beautiful trails and farm/vineyard tracks following the Rhone River, this was a lovely but very humply event. A great time was had by all and we are very grateful to Tracy Paterson for all the effort she put into organising the tour and to all the friendly Swiss people we met while we were there. Particular thanks goes to Tracy’s friend Olivier and his family who made us feel so welcome and was so generous in making sure that we all got the most out of our visit.

Beautiful scenery and perfect running weather
This hill at 20km was very steep through the vineyards
There were however cowbells at the top!
