Concept

The CERN Road Race has been held every year since 1980 in the West Area of the Meyrin site, and is open to everyone working at CERN and their families. 
It comprises 3 laps of a 1.8 km circuit, which makes for a total distance of (5.44+/-0.05)km. 
Children (15 years or younger) have their own race of 1.8 km over 1 lap.

The adult race is run on a handicap basis, by staggering the starting times. All runners cover the same distance and those finishing the course receive a souvenir prize, financed by a registration fee. There are runners of all speeds, times have ranged from under 17 to over 34 minutes. 
There are trophies for Women's and Men's categories in the Seniors and Veterans I ( > 40 years) and II ( > 50 years) age groups, as well as for age/performance and for the best family (2 or more members, scored on best parent + best child).
