Banan som är 5 km slingrar sig därefter norrut mot ESS och passerar igenom Kunskapsparken innan löparna åter vänder tillbaka mot Nobelparken. \n\nStafetten genomförs i lag om 2-4 deltagare där varje lag genomför 4 varv (delsträckor) à 5 km\nDeltagare i Innovationsloppet genomför 2 varv\n\nLund har sedan lång tid tillbaka varit en lekplats för innovativa idéer och många av våra stora uppfinningar såg världens ljus här. Studenterna\, universitetet och de många småföretagen är en perfekt grogrund för innovation och inte minst på området som sträcker sig från Lunds Universitet rakt norrut via Ideon Science Park\, via Brunnshög upp till nyetableringarna MAX IV och ESS. Det här loppet är en hyllning till Lund som innovationsnav! \nLäs mer om loppet och anmäl dig eller ditt lag >> \n \n  \n
