Lions of Hope Run 2026

Ready to bare your claws for a good cause? 🦁 

The Lions of Hope Run is waiting for you in the sumptuous setting of the Parc de Sceaux in mid-November. Normally, a mild autumn temperature awaits you 🍁 (let’s hope it won’t rain... buckets 💦). This edition is organized by the Lions Clubs of the southern zone of the Hauts-de-Seine and promises much more than a simple sporting challenge 🔥. Above all, this race is charitable and full of hope ❤️. 

No matter your level in running, you’ll find your place 😎. You can choose between two distances on a single loop: a 5 km or a 10 km, perfect for pushing yourself or simply enjoying it 😇. A 5 km walk is also offered, without timing, so you can take in the scenery at your leisure with your crew, your kids, or your favorite playlist 🎶. The youngest will also have their moment of glory with a 900-meter race, to do like the grown-ups—lion cub edition 👶. But what makes this race unique isn’t just its idyllic setting or its caring atmosphere; above all, it’s its solidarity dimension 🫶. Part of the proceeds are donated to social and cultural support for people—young or adult—living in precarious situations or with disabilities ⭐️. Many associations committed to sport and disability will therefore benefit from your effort and generosity 🧑‍🦽. The second part of the proceeds will be donated directly to Arthur Bellitto, a 17-year-old athlete preparing for the Los Angeles Paralympic Games and training in Antony. A donation box will also be available on site if you’d like to give and add your little stone to this edifice of hope 💰.

And after the race? No way you’re leaving without enjoying everything the area has to offer! ❌ Stroll through the Parc de Sceaux and admire its French formal gardens designed by Le Nôtre 😲. Extend the magic by visiting the Departmental Estate Museum, or go a bit further to the Palace of Versailles to pretend you’re Louis XIV for the duration of a selfie 🤳.

Running and doing a good deed—that’s the perfect combo, isn’t it? Don’t hesitate any longer! 😊
