The event in a few words

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

In France, there are thousands of running races: costume races, seaside races, in the mountains, alone or in a team, you can go running every day of the year if your heart desires 💗. But the Secret Run #1 : Sunrise Session is more than just an original concept: it's a brand-new experience 🫡. Here, you set off on a course whose route you will 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 🤪. At the time of registration, you will only know the date, the distance range and a difficulty level to get to the end of the event ⚔️. In your case, a range of 5 to 10 kilometers awaits you. Sure, it may seem short, but if you're already burnt out after 5 km, we can assure you the last 5 will be tricky to manage 😂. And as its name suggests, it's the "sunrise" version that will take place in mid-March 👀. Weather-wise, the Toulouse dawn in March is likely to be chilly, but the rising sun over the pink city will take care of warming your heart.

Want one last argument? The event is limited to 500 participants 🌡️. You're therefore joining a unique community, where you won't feel overwhelmed by the crowd and the information. In March, get ready for the festive atmosphere and friendly vibe unique to the Secret Run Toulouse 🤫. To extend your dream weekend in the largest city in Occitanie, don't forget to visit the Place du Capitole, the Basilica of Saint-Sernin or the Musée des Augustins, you'll turn pink with happiness 🥹.

And if you feel your mind isn't in it, treat yourself to a little listening session Pascal Dupraz style: a good motivational speech Toulouse-style never hurts 🗣️.

4 reasons to join this race

Run on instinct 🐺
No route to study the night before, no elevation to anticipate on Strava: you only discover the course a short time before the start. Forget recon runs, everything will be decided on race day 😎. A true reset for those used to race strategies 🔒.
A limited field, on a human scale 🎯
Here, forget about human tides at the start and endless queues at the aid stations 🍽️. You won't have to elbow your way to stay in the race. The deliberately limited field keeps the spirit of a secret shared among insiders, a world away from overcrowded big events 😮‍💨.
Toulouse, quite simply 🤩
The Capitole, the Couvent des Jacobins, the Saint-Sernin district or simply the banks of the Garonne, the beautiful city of the southwest has no shortage of photogenic spots 📸. But beneath its well-known pink city looks, the city is full of nooks that even some locals have never run through. The Secret Run banks on precisely that card, far from the beaten tracks of the city center 🕵️‍♀️.
A mystery to include in your mental preparation 🧠
Between 5 and 10 km, without knowing where you're setting foot or what awaits you at the finish: the real challenge begins in your head, well before the first strides 🧗. You'll move forward without landmarks, with just your instinct and the rising day in front of you. Time for double or nothing 🃏.

For all routes, the only certainty before departure: a distance of between 5 and 10 km. The rest remains a mystery until the very end 🤐. And keep your eyes wide open, you might see a picture taking shape in the sky: that of the rising sun over the beautiful pink city 💕.
