The Great RATP Race of Greater Paris 2026

Welcome to the starting line of The Great RATP Race of Greater Paris. Before the arrival of the "Grand Paris" 🥖, we offer you a city-to-city race for everyone, an eco-friendly event that will let you discover two facets of the Inner Parisian Suburbs, the Southeast and the North. From the Hippodrome Paris-Vincennes 🌲, to the Place de la République ⛲️, with a finish at the legendary Stade de France 🏟️, you can wander through the streets of Paris and its famous squares in the gentle spring 🌺. This year, the race is back to its original schedule and takes place again in early April, so put on your sneakers and head to Île-de-France ! 😁

Created in 2017, the event offers short distances, like the 5 km Matmut #BornToMove, which will start from Saint-Denis! Otherwise, there's a 10 km, with the start at a popular Parisian spot: the iconic Place de la République! For the more daring, a semi-marathon that connects the Val-de-Marne to the Seine-Saint-Denis, passing through Paris, is also planned. To start on this course, head to the other side of the periphery 🏁. The children 👧 will also be part of it since races are reserved for them. They too can push themselves physically on the renowned purple track of the Stade de France ⚽️. The RATP Race of Greater Paris is above all a committed event on several points. With refreshments made up only of 100% organic products and local, in an anti-waste approach, the event decides to commit to ecology! ♻️ You will also find no plastic bottles 🥤 and all unused refreshments will be entirely redistributed 🙏. But it goes even further because we are also working on the social level. Indeed, wristband donations 🎽 are set up to help the most fragile populations 🤝. So, if you have some clothes you no longer use, don't forget to bring them, it will make someone happy 🥰.

Regarding the course, the organizers have prepared a condensed version of Eastern Paris as we like it 🫶. Between green spaces 🪴 and major arteries often clogged with vehicles 🚗, several must-see sites of the capital will be available to you 🇨🇵. If you are one of the brave ones who embarked on the 21.097 km semi-marathon, you will enjoy refreshing passages during your crossing of the Bois de Vincennes 🐎. Note that this 995-hectare wood is the largest green space in Paris 🌳. Take advantage of this breath of fresh air that will be very useful before traversing the streets of Paris. Because yes, it will subsequently be a flurry of monuments and famous places that you will have the opportunity to discover, just like your peers who started from Place de la République. And that's not all! Your race will be punctuated by animations throughout the course 🎉. The finish 🏁 is breathtaking, within the iconic Stade de France. It is certainly the highlight of the course 🤩. The opportunity to feel like a champion for a few minutes 🚀 in front of the many spectators who will be present in the stands. It will be the time to fully enjoy your arrival in a warm atmosphere! 👏

After a quick tour at the Stade de France, head off to discover the cultural and gastronomic heritage of the Seine-Saint-Denis department 😍. We especially suggest a visit to the Basilica of Saint-Denis and its Gothic architecture ⛪️, a cultural outing at the Air and Space Museum of Le Bourget 🛩, or a trip to the Puces de Saint-Ouen, the largest antiques market in the world. And then, to regain strength after all that, don't hesitate to visit one of the many and famous Parisian brasseries ☕.

Don't hesitate any longer and come rediscover Paris by running on The Great RATP Race of Greater Paris! 🔥
