In short:
  • The “lost children” stand helped several families find their children on Saturday.
  • Lucaf players supervise the start of the races with enthusiasm.
  • The American football club attracts new players during the event.
  • Five hundred students from the Béthusy college participated in the various races of the 20km in Lausanne.

A funny orange panel made a lot of talk during the 43e edition of 20km from Lausanne. On this one, one could read “lost children”. “It challenges, notes, amused, Valérie Borer, manager of the Coubertin Info. Parents want to leave us their children because they believe that we are a daycare. Others show the stand to their kids telling them to come here, if they get lost. We also see who photograph themselves in front of the panel. ”

Passers -by do not fail to make humor. “If you want a child, you can come and get one here,” said one of them to his spouse by laughing.

At 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, the stand team had allowed five families to find their cherubs. Sometimes juniors come spontaneously. Stand officials generally call parents. When it is the parents who lose their child, announcements from the speaker allow you to raise any concern.

The reunion is sometimes touching, sometimes dry. “Sometimes children are touched up,” regrets the stand manager, who works with mobile police and security people.
