The event in a few words
Ninthโฆ Ten! That's the number of kilometers awaiting you for your next race โก๏ธ. In May, Paris 9th invites you to a charity run ๐. The 10 km of the Ninth - Lions Paris 9 Run returns this year for a new gathering ๐ซ. Family, friends, colleagues, everyone is invited ๐. With two routes organized, everyone will be happy with the day. You will have a children's race of 1.5 km or the renowned 10 km, enough to be pleased with the journey ๐. The 10 km of the Ninth is also part of the Challenge of the 10 km Parisians, so it's ideal to score points ๐ฏ in this competition!
The most important thing is that you participate in this race for the good cause โ . The craziest part is it's organized entirely by volunteers! ๐ช Its aim is to raise funds to donate to the Helen Keller Fund ๐. Created in 2025, this fund works daily to help children with disabilities access education ๐. With this race, its actions will be primarily carried out in the 9th district of Paris โจ. Additionally, this event is in collaboration with Lions Clubs International, which has been one of the leading NGOs in the world ๐ since 2017. Ultimately, the club's sole aim is to donate 100% of the funds and redistribute them for good causes. That's wonderful ๐ป.
We start Sunday with a 10 km, and that deserves respect ๐โโ๏ธ. To perform well, it's best to have a good course. Of course, given the race name, youโve understood that youโll be in the heart of the 9th ๐, for your entire race. A well-designed loop is planned, with monuments and beautiful streets on the agenda ๐. If youโve followed along, we've said everyone is invited. So, following the start of the 10 km, a new distance: 1.5 km of family steps ๐งโ๐งโ๐ง. Children over 5 years old are expected to participate in this beautiful challenge โก๏ธ, and it promises to be a beautiful moment ๐. In short, everyone is gathered: runners, children, family, and even para-athletes! ๐ Absolutely NO ONE is left out.
An important detail, this race takes place in the great French capital: Paris ๐ผ. To extend your weekend if you want to do activities, you're in luck! ๐ค First of all, nothingโs better than a good tour of the city, the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, the Seine Quays, the Orsay Museumโฆ ๐๏ธ In short, it's impossible for you to get bored in this city. Otherwise, for a magical family weekend ๐งโโ๏ธ, a stop at Disneyland Paris, we can't imagine anything crazier. Attractions, settings, mascots, and costumes ๐. The magic of Disney never disappoints ๐ . If your thing is more castles and royalty ๐ธ, we understand, but above all, we have just what you need. Head to the Palace of Versailles ๐ฐ, in the footsteps of Louis XIV. We guarantee that the Sun King had great taste ๐ค.
We hope you're preparing brand new gear, to perform in this beautiful race ๐ and that you're ready to support great causes.
