Night’N’Day is postponed… But not cancelled!

In view of the still critical sanitary context, the Raid CentraleSupélec association is forced to
postpone the 2021 edition of Night N’Day which was supposed to take place in the Chevreuse Valley on February 13th. The safety of students and company employee and staff being the priority of the Raid.
CentraleSupélec, it seems inconceivable to organize our event under these conditions. The association has
therefore decided to postpone the sporting meeting to Saturday, May 22nd, 2021, still in the Chevreuse valley.

More than 300 students and collaborators were expected to attend this flagship event of the Chevreuse Valley.Stud ents already registered will have the choice between :

  • Keep their place for the event postponed to May 22nd, 2021.
  • Receive a full refund if they no longer wish to participate on that date (the
    refund modalities will be communicated by email to the students already registered)

For non-registered students, the registration site is still open! We hope to see many of you on May 22nd, the Raid CentraleSupélec adventure continues!

 

On May 22nd, come and have fun in the Chevreuse valley!

Encourage your friends to form a mixed team of 4 and come and live an epic day together just a few kilometres away from Paris.

First of all, the Night’N’Day Saclay is a trail on Saturday morning, with an enchanting night departure.

A set of optional loops (Mountain Bike, Trail, Orienteering and even Canoeing!) make the Night’N’Day a unique modular race accessible to all.
