Event Schedule and "Fun Village"
The festivities begin at 05:00 PM with the opening of the Fun Village at Avenue du Parc 37. Before the race, participants gather for a musical warm-up at 06:15 PM. The evening transitions into a networking party starting at 07:00 PM, featuring food trucks, a DJ, and bars. The official awards ceremony is set for 08:30 PM. This structure is designed specifically for companies to strengthen ties between colleagues, clients, and suppliers in a festive, non-traditional setting.
The "Zoning" Experience
What sets this event apart is the immersion into the industrial park (zoning). As runners and walkers traverse the various host companies, many businesses set up original activities, including tasting stands, giant screen videos, and music. It is described as an "AfterWork’n Run" where the professional environment is transformed into a playground for discovery and sport. Participation is exclusively reserved for corporate teams, with a minimum requirement of five members per team.
