AéroRun Lyon 2026

We know you’ve always dreamed of being in Top Gun 🛩️—the world of aviation, a pair of Ray-ban 🕶️ perched on your nose, and the brotherly vibe you find on the tarmac! Well, since we’re super nice, we’re going to make your dream come true! 😉 The only thing is, you won’t be flying an F-14A Tomcat ✈️, but you’ll still be at the controls of your running shoes! 🤪 We’re inviting you to sign up for the AéroRun Lyon, to take part in a road tarmac 10 km race! 🤩 After a blazing success for this format in Paris, we absolutely had to do it somewhere else! In the middle of June, we’re heading to Lyon-Bron Airport for an imminent landing 🤪.

And running on a runway 🛫 means one thing: a flat course! A 10 km is simple, fast, and effective 🤌. With very few turns and practically zero elevation gain, a new PB (Personal Best) is waiting for you at the finish line 🏁. If you want to race an airplane, not sure it’ll be conclusive, but it will help you sprint! ⚡️ Prefer to discover this place gently? No worries—you can take part in the walk of 2.5 km! 🚶‍♀️ Either way, you’re supporting a charitable cause. 100% of your registration fee will be donated to the missions of Aviation Sans Frontières! 🤝 But what missions are we talking about exactly? We’re talking about funding the missions carried out in Madagascar, to develop the Hospital Plane project 🏥. Set up to send caregivers, equipment, medicines, food supplies… 🩺 With this project, the goal is to triple the number of medical missions on the island and to offer new care, for more comprehensive support 💝. 

It’s beautiful, it’s meaningful—and it’s in Lyon, at the edge of Bron (juuuust next door), right in the Rhône department—not the river, of course 🙄. Want us to introduce the venue a bit more? The venue opens its doors to you across 2,000 hectares, where 100% of flights are dedicated to business aviation, making it the 3rd French airport in that regard 🤓. Sorry to disappoint, but this isn’t where you’ll go to fly off on vacation to Punta Cana… 🏖️ With more than 2,000 destinations on offer, 6 airlines are based there 📋. By the way, a little anecdote: this is the airport that hosted the first 100% electric flight. That’s good news! ✅ All of this is to say there are more wings there than in a bird’s nest! 🦅 

And yes, Maverick, running in an unusual place is great—but so is culture! 🙃 To keep you going on your mental elevation journey, the region’s treasures are waiting for you 📍. The city of Lyon, the world capital of gastronomy, is ready and waiting for your post-race refuel 🍴. After such an effort, you’ve earned the right to get lost in the streets of Vieux Lyon or to try a real Lyonnais bouchon 😋. Between a little praline brioche for comfort or a stroll along the Saône riverbanks to loosen up your legs, the City of Lights knows how to pamper its athletes 🦁. 

Slip on your aviator sunglasses 👓 and your running shoes 👟 and come race at the AéroRun Lyon!
