You love rugby and running but don’t know which activity to choose for the weekend? 🎯 Well, I think we’ve got the solution for you! In September, the Stade Toulousain is organizing its very first race where a passion for rugby meets a love of running 🏉. In Toulouse, you can be sure the pride of the city is the rugby club Stade Toulousain. In the Pink City 🩷, you wake up rugby, you eat rugby, and you know the rest—you sleep rugby 🛌. Besides, we want to remind you that this year Stade Toulousain brought home its 24th Bouclier de Brennus, nothing less 🏆. The seed of a champion seems to grow pretty well in Toulouse 🌱—all that’s missing is you to come and confirm it 👇.
Well, you’ve got it: no need for boots 🥾. Just bring your sneakers 👟, your determination, and above all your smile 😁. Stade Toulousain really wants to highlight the values it shares throughout the year with a friendly and unifying event centered on sport and health 💘. This 10 km is the perfect opportunity to invite seasoned runners 🚀 as well as new runners 🏃♂️. Whether you’re looking to smash your personal best or you’re pinning on a bib for the first time 🥰, the most important thing is to give it your all. Here, it’s not about joining the scrum but rather the finish line—so it’s up to you not to kick it into touch! 🏁 And good news: even children will have their own match 🧒.
Running is tough on the legs and the lungs 😮💨, but it’s great for the eyes! 😍 The 10 km of the Stadium is an excellent way to discover the Toulouse city and its must-see spots 😎. The starting signal will be given from the Rocade synthetic field, then you’ll head off to discover the iconic Place Saint-Pierre and its bars that keep Toulousains dancing 🕺. You’ll pass by emblematic places like the bar chez Tonton 🍻 or the Prairie des Filtres 🌳. For the rest of the route, we’ll leave you a few surprises to discover on race day! 🎁 As for the atmosphere, you’ll be well served! 🥳 The organizers have thought of everything: a stage, an announcer, a DJ, a chill zone, a refreshment stand, and the famous bodega going wild, well known among rugby lovers 🍻.
Now that we’ve told you everything we know, we’re counting on you to join the start line 🏎️. Don’t forget your headphones so you can listen to Ô Toulouse by Claude Nougaro as you run 🎶. After that, you might almost become a true Toulousain 😉.
The kickoff will be given at the legendary Ernest Wallon Stadium! 🏟️
You’ll set off along the banks of the Garonne alongside your scrum mates 🏉. All together, like a rugby team, you’ll head out to be cheered through the streets of the Pink City! 🥳 Pont des Catalans, Prairie des Filtres and the Ponts-Jumeaux, the essential elements of Toulouse life will be on your way 🤩. And when we say essential, it necessarily means a passage through Place Saint-Pierre and in front of the bar Chez Tonton - Pastis Ô Maître, where you can celebrate the third half! 🍻
But before that, back to Ernest Wallon to cross the finish line and turn the try into a victory at the 10 km from the Stadium! 🏆
The “Duo” ranking will be calculated based on the time of the second member of the pair to cross the finish line!
Only one goal: stay together from start to finish 🏃♀️➡️🏃♂️➡️. Support each other, move forward side by side, and experience every kilometer all the way to the finish.
