Run for fun (Courir pour le Plaisir) 2019
“Courir pour le Plaisir” is back for its 14th edition. As for the Course du Dodo or the Trail Le Pouce, the “Courir pour le Plaisir” Race is organized by COURIR POUR LE PLAISIR and the brilliant Benoît César. COURIR POUR LE PLAISIR supports the association SYNDROME DE LOWE, by donating a financial contribution for each registration. This year, a new route is planned for this now classic 10 km race in the Bois de Vincennes. A 1.5 km children’s race is also planned. Thank you Benoît for your always so nice runs!

Loops of the 17th arrondissement 2019
Once again, we find a arrondissement race, the “Boucles du 17ème arrondissement de Paris”. A great competitive race that takes place, of course, in the streets of the 17th arrondissement. Even if we are not in Montmartre or Belleville, the course is not entirely flat and we have to manage some little slopes. At the end of the race, the awards ceremony takes place in a large room of the Town Hall, with a good atmosphere and a small friendly buffet.

The 10K of Paris Center 2019
Update November 12, 2019: the race originally scheduled for Sunday, November 17 has been postponed to Sunday, November 24 Superb race especially for the places it crosses. One of the best running routes in Paris for a competition (like the 10 km Adidas Paris). In previous years (except in 2016), the start and finish took place on avenue de l’Opéra, with the beautiful Opéra Garnier in front of the runners at the start, passage rue de Rivoli, Place Vendôme, passage in front of the Louvre, beautiful monuments all along the route, very pleasant to contemplate even if you are in a hurry… This year too, the itinerary promises to be magnificent (see link). Competitive race, the route is relatively flat. In 2018, the race having been cancelled, the links given here point to the 2017 (or earlier) documents, images, videos and results.

“La Course des Lumières” Paris 2019
This is the fourth time that La Course des Lumières (Paris) will perform. It is a charity race with the aim of supporting the Institut Curie and cancer research. Two “events”, a 10 km non-timed race on the banks of the Seine and a 4 km walk. A beautiful itinerary that takes place at night all along the Seine, left and right banks, with the illuminations of the City of Light!

The Strides of Solidarity 2019
The 15th edition of the “Foulées de la Solidarité Lepic Abbesses”. They are organised by “Montmartre à la Une ACP 18” and OMS 18. 4 loops in Montmartre for the 10 km and 2 loops for the 5 km The funds collected are totally donated for “AFM Telethon” research. A rather steep course, it’s Montmartre! Pentuous and picturesque 😀 And why not combine this competition with a sightrunning tour of the city during your stay in Paris by running with authentic Parisian runner guides (warming up some day before the competition or recovering some day after)?

Half-marathon of Boulogne 2019
This is the 23rd edition of the Boulogne half-marathon, one of the most important French half-marathons. By the way, why does it appear in this blog when Boulogne is not Paris and this blog is only dedicated to Parisian races? Well, part of his route passes through the Bois de Boulogne, which belongs to Paris! A very rolling course that attracts many competitive runners. Souvenir from 2002. Small article from the newspaper of Boulogne, dedicated to the race (I appear in third position on the picture, for a time of 1h18): And why not combine this competition with a sightrunning tour of the city during your stay in Paris by running with authentic Parisian runner guides (warming up some day before the competition or recovering some day after)?

Urgent Run Paris 2019
This is the 4th edition of the URGENT RUN PARIS this Saturday, November 16 in the Bois de Boulogne. The idea is to run together in the same direction to finance sanitarization programs around the world. URGENT RUN PARIS is a solidarity race, comprising three races of 5, 10 and 15 km, designed to finance sanitarization programs around the world. The mission, to give everyone access to the toilets! A cause that does not affect us directly and yet is present around us. Today 1 in 3 people do not have access to toilets and 1000 children under 5 years of age die every day, it is urgent to act! Let’s run together in the same direction on Saturday 16 November at the Bois de Boulogne for the URGENT RUN PARIS!

The “Bacchantes” Paris 2019
A not-serious race for a serious cause, the fight against prostate cancer. During the previous edition of the race, the association Les Bacchantes Paris collected 11 600 euros. These funds have been fully transferred to the Funds for the Bacchantes, whose Scientific Committee will examine applications for grants or support for scientific and medical projects related to prostate cancer. Everyone must wear a mustache! A very nice race at the Bois de Boulogne.
