The event in a few words

Ahhhh Toulouse, the pink city 💕, a city of art, a city of history and a city of gastronomy—we could sing its praises for hours… But today we’re going to talk about its sporty side instead. No, not rugby or swimming, even though we hold Antoine Dupont as dear as Léon Marchand in our hearts, but our favorite sport: running 🏃.

In France, there are thousands of running races: costume races, seaside races, in the mountains, solo or as a team—you can go running every day of the year if you feel like it 💗. But Secret Run #1: Sunrise Session is more than just an original concept: it’s a one-of-a-kind experience 🫡. Here, you set off on a course whose route you’ll only get a few days beforehand. The location, the distance, the pre-race, the course and the after race : you’ll discover all of that in due time 🤪. When you register, you’ll only know the date, the distance range and a difficulty level to complete the challenge ⚔️. In your case, a range of 5 to 8 kilometers awaits you. Sure, it may seem short, but if you’re already cooked after 5 km, we can assure you the last 3 will be tricky to manage 😂. And as the name suggests, it’s the "trail" version that will take place at the start of 2027 👀.

Want one last argument? The event is limited to 500 participants 🌡️. So you’ll be joining a unique community, where you won’t feel overwhelmed by the crowd and information. In March, get ready to discover the first edition of a long series with an exceptional and friendly atmosphere typical of Secret Run Toulouse 🤫. To extend your dream weekend in the biggest city in Occitanie, don’t forget to take a stroll around Place du Capitole, the Basilica of Saint-Sernin or the Musée des Augustins—you’ll be pink with happiness 🥹.

And if you feel like your mindset isn’t there, treat yourself to a little listening session with Pascal Dupraz: a good motivational speech, Toulouse-style never hurts 🗣️.

4 reasons to join this race

Run on instinct 🐺
No route to study the day before, no elevation gain to anticipate on Strava: you’ll discover the course only shortly before the start. Forget recon runs—everything will be decided on race day 😎. A real reset for those used to race strategies 🤫.
500 bibs, no more, no less 🫡
Here, forget the human tides at the start and the endless queues at the aid stations 🍽️. You won’t have to elbow your way to stay in the race. The deliberately limited capacity keeps a confidential vibe among insiders, a world away from overloaded major events 😮‍💨.
Toulouse, simply 🤩
The Capitole, the Jacobins convent, the Saint-Sernin district or simply the banks of the Garonne—the pretty city in the south-west of France is full of cute little tourist spots 📸. But beneath its well-known "Pink City" image, the city is packed with corners that even some locals have never set foot in while running. Secret Run is betting precisely on that card, far from the well-trodden paths of the city center 🕵️‍♀️.
A mystery to work into your mental prep 🧠
Between 5 and 8 km, without knowing where you’re putting your feet or what awaits you at the finish: the real challenge starts in your head, well before the first strides 🏃.
