The event in a few words
We know it: as soon as the days get shorter, you are less visible on the road 👻.
To put visibility back at the heart of your daily journeys, the Prévention Routière association invites you in December to Paris for the Lumière & Vision – The Race 🏃♀️. A committed event that lights up the beautiful City of Light every autumn 💡. It is part of the national campaign "Lumière & Vision", designed to remind you of a simple reflex: seeing well and being seen when night falls earlier ⌚️. An issue that is far from trivial: half of the pedestrians killed each year are killed between October and January 🗓️. This autumn, come and carry an essential message: being visible on the road can save lives! 💝 By taking part, you support a public interest mission that works to prevent the risks related to traffic, especially when visibility decreases at night 🌙. Your commitment allows the association to fund its national campaigns and to raise awareness among all generations about good habits on the road, and in particular regarding nighttime dangers 🌕.
The meeting point is the Louis-Philippe bridge, where an activity village awaits you to raise your awareness while having fun 🙃. If you are more the type who loves timed challenges, the Night Urban Trail of 10 km is made for you 🫵. You will tread the banks of the Seine at nightfall, in a unique nighttime setting 😻. The course is a real urban playground with stairs and bridges. Your final ranking will not depend only on your legs : your time will be converted into points and added to your scores earned at the village stands 📍.
Between sport, prevention and conviviality, you will leave with your head full of memories and, above all, the certainty of being well seen by everyone 👀.

Hop hop hop, with small strides, you will quickly reach the Louis-Philippe Bridge, where the finish will be judged.

A challenge for family fun! A challenge to experience as a family! 👨👩👧 Bike, scooter, rollerblades, skateboard, gyropod, walking or running: at each stand along the course, answer questions, take on challenges and rack up as many points as possible before heading to the finish line on the Louis-Philippe bridge 🏁. Here, there are no arrows: you choose the order of the stages and travel independently, in compliance with the rules of the road, thanks to the recommended routes based on your mode of travel 🧭. In a team (up to six), everyone stays on the same type of path, pedestrian area or bike lane, and the podium is decided in two rankings: pedestrians on one side, bikes and personal mobility devices on the other 🏆.
