A shorter, more accessible format, open to all, will be set up over ten kilometers. It will follow a route rich in monuments and iconic sites right through the heart of Paris, all the way to the Esplanade des Invalides, with a host of events to ensure an intense and unforgettable experience.
Accessible from the age of 16, this race will be open to all profiles, young or old, disabled or not, for a magical moment in the heart of Paris. The 10km course will be accessible to all people with disabilities, whatever their specific needs (guide, use of a wheelchair, joëlette, etc.), provided they are at least 16 years old by December 31, 2024.
