LIONS PARIS 9 RUN - 10 km du Neuf

On March 21, 2027, the heart of Paris's 9th arrondissement will pulse with energy as runners gather for the Lions Club Paris Helen Keller’s 10K du Neuf charity race. This family-friendly event invites participants to lace up their shoes and take on a scenic course that winds through some of the city’s most iconic streets, from bustling boulevards to charming avenues lined with historic buildings.
The main attraction is the timed 10K run, which offers runners an opportunity not just for personal bests but also to contribute to a meaningful cause. The race route features well-marked loops around key landmarks and beautiful thoroughfares in Paris’s vibrant 9th arrondissement. Accompanying this are two additional formats: a non-timed 5K option called "Discovering the Neuf" for those looking to enjoy the scenery without competition, and a family-friendly 1.5K run designed specifically for children aged five and up.
Organized entirely by volunteers, the event raises funds for the Helen Keller Fund, dedicated to helping disabled children access education in Paris’s 9th arrondissement and beyond. The Lions Club Paris Helen Keller ensures that every penny raised goes directly toward good causes, making this race a truly impactful experience for participants and spectators alike.
While focusing on athletic achievement and charitable giving, the event also celebrates inclusivity with para sports athletes joining runners of all ages in an atmosphere brimming with support and community spirit. The day promises to be not just about racing but also about connecting with Paris's rich cultural offerings—visitors can explore world-famous sites like the Eiffel Tower or enjoy a magical weekend at Disneyland Paris, immersing themselves fully in everything this vibrant city has to offer.
So mark your calendars for March 21 and join thousands of runners as they take part in an unforgettable day of running, community service, and celebration.
