“That’s the tail for the bibs of 20km from Lausanne? ” Asks a young woman, spreading her eyes. It is 5 p.m. in Vidy and some 400 people are waiting for the doors to the distribution tent to open.
A human snake of a hundred meters is emerging. “Some people arrived forty-five minutes before opening,” said a witness. In the queue, Linda Berguerand patiently waits. “As the weather was nice, I came on foot,” she said. With my husband, we come every year on Friday, because it allows us to be more relaxed on the day of the race. On Saturday, with the children’s categories, there are always a lot of people and it’s not always easy to access the stands. ”
Some runners arrived forty-five minutes before the tent opened.

We met grandparents with their daughter and grandchildren. For almost each bib, they had to redo the queue, then start again to get their t-shirts. But the maneuver ultimately did not arouse nervousness, since after 43 editions, the distribution became very effective. Those who had only one bib and a T-shirt to take, came out in five minutes shows in hand.
