4th May 2024 - SOLA Staffette
With a new year comes a new SOLA, and just like last time SBL is looking to prove that in addition to labbin' we can also run.
If you don't know what SOLA is, you can check it out here. In short, it's a 14-person stafette race covering 114 km across Zürich. It's quite an event with ~1000 teams competing every year. From our experience last year and we can confirm it was a blast. We are looking for people to join our 2024 team! Don't worry, you don't have to be a seasoned runner. As SOLA offers route lengths ranging from 3.69 to 14.11 km, there is a stretch for everyone, from 'I only run for the bus' to 'A marathon, pfff'. Following the race, the runners usually go for a barbecue in the Irchel park or somewhere in the area, and we plan to do the same.
