World tour
Running around the world ....
On February 13, 2000 Serge Roetheli and his wife Nicole, began a journey of epic proportion, which should take them across five continents over a five-year period. He is running at a pace of 7000 km or 4,375 miles per year while she rides a motorcycle by his side.
Through this ambitious voyage, the Roethelis hope to increase public awareness of the plight of children around the world. The couple’s impetus is to promote children’s rights worldwide and to help finding effective
ways to defend their rights and building support for their cause.
Upon leaving Switzerland, they began this adventure on the African continent, then moved on to the Middle East, Asia then Australia, followed by South America and North America.
Finally the last leg of their journey takes them back to Switzerland after five years.
At a pace of about 8'000 Km per year,
The Roethelis have logged 40 000 km or 25,000 miles by foot by the time they return to Europe.
They have now finished their World Tour but it's not all over !
