Run FOR THEM 2026

If you run regularly in Lyon, in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, you've surely seen these joggers with a pink t-shirt 👚. This is the favorite outfit of the participants in the charity race Run FOR THEM! Before being a race, Run FOR THEM is above all an association committed to the fight against female cancers 🚺. Run FOR THEM is more than a race, it's an opportunity to share a moment around shared values of solidarity, sharing, and kindness 🤝, in a friendly atmosphere where laughter and fun abound 😁.

During these events, women are honored, whether they are warriors fighting cancer, close ones accompanying them, but also men AND women who want to show their support 🙌. Indeed, the Sunday race is 100% feminine (GIRL POWER 👊🏼), it's your intimate moment and especially without complexes 🚫. Men, on the other hand, can Run FOR THEM on Friday and Saturday, where the races are mixed, but also in the connected formats! 🥰 Through sport, this magnificent race shows that despite the illness, it is still possible to believe, dare, and move forward 💪. It's also an opportunity for you to push your limits, knowing that you're not alone, and to share a unique moment with the multitude of women who came for the occasion 🏃‍♀️.

The formats available for you are as follows:

First format: Sunday, June 7th at the Grand Parc Miribel-Jonage to share a special moment with all the other runners and the association members. An untimed 10 km course 😎 along with an untimed 5 km race, a 5 km walk 🚶🏻‍♀️and a 2.5 km. If in May, we do as we please, we are sure the lively warm-up 💃, the different stands, and the crazy atmosphere 🎉 will please you. The heat will probably be present to proudly display your pink t-shirt 👚. It's a 100% feminine event, so boys, step aside and make way for the Pink Wave! 💁🏼‍♀️ This year, companies 👨‍💼 are invited to run on Friday, June 5th and the whole family 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 (Gentlemen, you are welcome) on Saturday, June 6th! Defending the cause knows no gender, so it is essential to mobilize all together! 💓.

Second format: Connected format 🤳 from mid-May to June 7th everywhere in France 🇫🇷 and abroad 🌎. We've said it, this year Run FOR THEM has planned everything to ensure the maximum number of people can participate in this event 👫. You have the option of the same distances, 5 km and 10 km as a walk or run 🚶🏻‍♀️. And why connected 📲? No need to follow a course, you do it where you want, when you want, and if you connect, you will receive motivational audio messages during your run made by the association to support you, even from afar 😎. Yes, you boys too 💁‍♂️ can participate in this format; as you can see, the organizers are quite accommodating 😉.

You can register for each of these formats alone or in a group, because as we said, it's above all a way to come together and share a sporting and unique moment 😍.

It's nevertheless in the gastronomic capital 🍽️ that this beautiful event takes place 📍. You'll have the opportunity to taste the famous Lyonnais bouchons 🤤, with a good country terrine as a starter, the renowned Lyons quenelle as a hot dish, and to finish on a sweet note, the mythical praline tart, also pink 😋.

For an ideal weekend, we recommend climbing to the Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière ⛪ to admire the breathtaking view and exploring the Vieux Lyon district and its charming streets 🤩.

So now you have no more excuses, come Run FOR THEM! 🤗
