It has become a great classic, La Parisienne, a race exclusively reserved for women, a beautiful party, 7 km around the Eiffel Tower, the Grand and Petit Palais, the Place de la Concorde, the Invalides… A nice route.

Cycling in the North and West of Paris . Running around the Eiffel Tower This route promises to be magnificent: the Montmartre hillock (like cycling in the mountains…), the Batignolles, the Arc de Triomphe, the Longchamp Hippodrome, Roland Garros, the Trocadero, the Quai Branly Museum and of course the Eiffel Tower!

10K of the Hexagone 2018
The 10 km of the Hexagone*: a simultaneous start on Sunday 24 June at 10am in several French cities in a gigantic competition! A part of the registration is donated to the National Union of Traumatised Brains (Union Nationale des Traumatisés Crâniens et Cérébro-Lésés). This donation will help improve the lives of the injured and their families. In Paris, the race starts and ends at the splendid hippodrome of Auteuil, precisely on the athletic track which is in the middle of the horses race field (for information, it is a track open to the public when there are no equestrian races, a beautiful 400 m to make its intervals series). It’s always a great pleasure to finish a race by going around a stadium! Propice to the final sprint which makes us gain a few seconds and pass under the threshold of the objective! * “Hexagone” means the continental part of France, reminding that its geographical shape resembles an almost regular hexagon (3 land sides and 3 sea sides). By extension, “Hexagone” is often used to designate France itself.
