The start of a new academic year means a new intake of athletes ready to complete Le Rosey’s Super Trophée 23/53, a series of challenging sporting events designed to test endurance and teamwork. For their entry test, Roseans adventured into Valais to be put through their paces in preparation for the three main events. With less than favourable weather, Roseans took the water and cold temperatures in their stride, completing a 12km trail with 750m of elevation. All sixteen participants passed the test to proceed to the forthcoming running challenge and should be congratulated on completing the first stage of the Trophée, as well as their willingness to adapt plans following ever-changing weather conditions.
