The People's Party covered 43.37 kilometers, as the organizer of the run, Swiss Olympic, wrote in a press release on Thursday. The Greens were in second place, followed by the SP, the Center Party and the FDP. Bringing up the rear were the Green Liberals.
Focus on shared joy
However, the focus of the run, which is held annually as part of the summer session, was the shared joy of exercise, as the press release went on to say. From 6.30 a.m., the 40 participants were on the move for around 20 minutes, whether jogging, walking or in a wheelchair.
The starting signal was given by the new Sports Minister Martin Pfister in a suit and tie, emphasizing that this was probably a bit of an exaggeration. The Director of the Federal Office of Sport, Sandra Felix, and Roger Schnegg, Director of Swiss Olympic, also took part in the run.
