About this race
The Evasion Rhône by Raiffeisen takes participants from Geneva towards Dardagny along the Rhône, passing Aire-la-Ville. This trail event, held in mid-March in the canton of Geneva, Switzerland, offers solo, relay, running, walking, and free-format options. Distances range from approximately 9 km to 48 km, with specific choices of 15 km and 24 km, alongside walking races and a 24 km relay.
The routes trace riverbanks, go near natural reserves, and traverse trails through Geneva’s countryside and forests. The 24 km course involves a climb of about 430 metres, and the 48 km race ascends approximately 800 metres, covering a full round trip between Dardagny and Geneva. Now in its 24th edition, the event attracted 629 results in a recent 24 km race, indicating a field larger than just local runners. One listing refers to it by the nickname “The fastest RER in Switzerland,” a fitting jest for a point-to-point course connecting Geneva and Dardagny.
