2026 "La Parisienne": a great performance from the Institut Pasteur's women's contingent
Walking or running: women staff at the Institut Pasteur show up once again to brave the kilometers in support of Pasteurdon
The latest edition of the "La Parisienne" race took place on September 13, and 59 of the Institut Pasteur's women staff took to the starting line to run in aid of Pasteurdon. With a choice between running 7km or 10km or walking 7km, each participant could choose the distance that suited them best as they took part in this fun and friendly sporting challenge. This year, 35 participants chose to run 10km, while 19 opted to run 7km and 6 decided to walk.
The runners gathered at the foot of the Eiffel Tower for the start, ready to take to the tarmac in aid of Pasteurdon!
Building on their past performances and as determined as ever to take on the pavement—no matter the distance—the Pasteuriennes climbed to 3rd place in the corporate rankings for the 10K race (up from 8th in 2025)!
This year, for the first time, the the Institut Pasteur's women staff took third place in the Corporate Challenge for the 10km race, out of the 98 registered companies, finding themselves on the podium alongside major companies that are regulars at the top of the rankings!
Well done to all the runners for their energy, good humor and willingness to go the extra mile for Pasteurdon, and a big thank you to all the Institut Pasteur staff who turned out to support them.
