Wake up and run into the heart of Paris for an invigorating morning at the 19th Solidarity Run on October 17, 2026. Set against the backdrop of Buttes-Chaumont Park's lush greenery and winding paths, this event offers a unique blend of physical challenge and community spirit. Participants will embark from City Hall in Paris' vibrant 19th arrondissement to explore the park’s diverse terrain. The route winds through centuries-old trees, past picturesque waterfalls, and under suspension bridges leading up to the majestic Temple of the Sibyl perched on its rocky outcrop. Both a 5 km Nordic walk and a more challenging 10 km run are available for all ages from 16 years old with parental authorization if necessary. The park's natural beauty provides an ideal setting for this event, which is organized by CIITS (Interprofessional and Inter-associative Coordination of Social Work) to support local social initiatives. By participating in the race, you contribute directly to funding essential services such as family support programs, youth assistance projects, activities for seniors, and tutoring. Beyond the run itself, visitors can explore the surrounding neighborhood’s cultural offerings. A stroll along the Bassin de la Villette or a visit to the Cité des Sciences et de l'Industrie at Parc de la Villette offers engaging experiences beyond just running. Don't miss out on discovering colorful street art in Belleville and enjoying leisurely walks by the Canal Saint-Martin. After your run, refuel with some of Paris’s renowned cuisine: a hearty entrecôte steak or a creamy croque-monsieur from one of the area's local bistros, washed down with an espresso. The 19th Solidarity Run is more than just exercise; it's about community and giving back. So lace up your running shoes for this unique event that promises to be both challenging and rewarding. Whether you're a seasoned runner or someone looking to get out of bed early on a crisp autumn morning, the Buttes-Chaumont Park awaits with its scenic routes and spirited atmosphere. Join us in celebrating solidarity through sport!
