Unite with thousands of runners for a sustainable journey across the capital at the Grande Course RATP du Grand Paris, scheduled for Sunday, April 5, 2026. This eco-responsible event is designed to bridge the gap between Paris and its surrounding territories, creating a "human stride" that dissolves the boundaries between the city center and the suburbs. The experience culminates in a legendary finish on the Olympic track of the Stade de France, offering every participant the rare chance to cross the same finish line as the world's greatest athletes. Committed to innovation and solidarity, the race sets a high standard for urban athletics by prioritizing environmental preservation and social inclusion.
The 2026 edition features a diverse lineup of distances to ensure that everyone, from elite competitors to casual movers, can take part in the celebration. Runners can choose the strategic challenge of the Semi-Marathon, the fast-paced 10km route, or the accessible 5km Matmut #NésPourBouger, which focuses on the joy of movement without the pressure of the clock. Children also have their own dedicated 3km course, ensuring the event is a family-friendly affair. With a young average participant age and a massive community of volunteers, the event is more than a race—it is a modern, popular festival that showcases a forward-thinking, unified Grand Paris.
