The big cities have the power to amaze everyone, 🤩 especially runners: what a pleasure it is to run on large boulevards, amidst historic monuments 🏛️ that define the city and sometimes even the country! But there are also many downsides: it’s crowded, the air is sometimes polluted, and it’s not always very refreshing 😠. This is why some prefer nature races 🍃 in the heart of the countryside. So for the August holidays, head to the shade of the forest 🌲 to take part in the Course du Mandement!
Lazyboys Track Club started in 2018 when Sophie brought the Thursday night speedwork sessions she loved in Brooklyn to Geneva. What began as a simple transplant of a New York habit has become a cooperative of around 80 runners united by one philosophy: get faster, have fun. There is no pretension here, just friends who show up for each other at the track and at race finish lines. Every Thursday morning at Sports Center Bout-du-Monde, the crew gathers at 7am for speedwork that somehow makes the whole week feel manageable. From Geneva's quickest runners to complete newcomers, Lazyboys Track Club keeps it simple and keeps it welcoming.
