Good fun under the Provencal sun
A yearly tradition in the ITER community for more than a decade now, the ITER Games offer a pleasant way to reconnect among colleagues and neighbours after the summer recess. On Saturday 14 September, just over 700 people took part.
Tennis, kayak, mountain biking, trail running, football, the Provencal boule sport of pétanque, and (new this year as a demonstration) handball—there was something for every athlete at the 11th ITER Games in Vinon-sur-Verdon on Saturday 14 September.
The games are organized for the staff and contractors working on the ITER project, their families, and local sportsmen and women from the towns of Vinon-sur-Verdon and Saint Paul-lez-Durance.
Games for childen, a bouncy castle, lunch on the village square, an awards ceremony and live music rounded out the day's athletic program.
The ITER Games associations thank the ITER Organization, Agence Iter France, the neighboring towns, and corporate sponsors Apave, Assytem, Daher, Engage, Vinci, Ferrovial, Razel-Bec, Dalkia and MOMENTUM for their support.
