114.77 km, 2’747 m of ascent, 14 legs, more than 14’000 people, 1025 teams – and among them “DORA Express: Lib4RI & Friends”. Our team with the starting number 509 successfully completed the 48th SOLA-Stafette on Saturday!
On the first Saturday in May, thousands of people come to the greater Zurich area to participate in the largest university sports event in Switzerland: the traditional SOLA-Stafette organised by ASVZ.
Lib4RI formed a group as well and participated last Saturday in perfect conditions. The team consisted of 5 people from the library, 2 people from Eawag, 2 participants from Empa, and 5 external runners. Even though we did not all know each other before, we built a great team! Everyone gave their best and with a total time of 10:20:30, “DORA Express” reached the 492. place out of 1025 teams. The day ended with a joint, celebratory dinner where we shared our experiences from the race and enjoyed the first warm spring evening outside.
The "DORA Express: Lib4RI & Friends" team at SOLA-Stafette 2023 (in order of running): Maria Dittrich, Dimitris Antonakis, Jonny Jones, Nina Helg-Kurmann, Frank Clemens, Mira Umlauf, Natalia Kovalska, Fabian Felder, Tom Lorimer, Lothar Nunnenmacher, Maurice Ehinlanwo, Jeannette Bosshard, Federico Cantini, and Robert Yates.
