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 to you about its sporty side. No, not rugby or swimming, even if we hold Antoine Dupont and Léon Marchand equally close to 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 the Secret Run #2: Golden Hour Session is more than just an original concept: it’s a one-of-a-kind experience 🫡. Here, you set off on a route whose course map you’ll only get a few days beforehand. The location, the distance, the pre-race, the course and the after-race: all of that, you’ll discover in due time 🤪. At the time of registration, you will only know the date, the kilometer range and a difficulty level to complete the challenge ⚔️. In your case, a range of 5 to 8 kilometers awaits you. Sure, that 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 "golden hour" version that will take place at the end of 2027 👀. So make sure your phone is fully charged—you’re going to come back with the best photos in the whole region 🤳.

Want one last argument? The event is limited to 500 participants 🌡️. So you’re joining a unique community, where you won’t feel overwhelmed by the numbers and the information. In September, get ready to discover the first edition of a long series, with an exceptional and friendly atmosphere unique to Secret Run Toulouse 🤫. To extend your dream weekend in the largest city in Occitanie, don’t forget to stop by 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, give yourself a little listening session à la Pascal Dupraz: a good Toulouse-style motivational speech never hurts 🗣️.

4 reasons to join this race

500 bibs, no more, no less 🫡
Here, forget human tides at the start and endless lines at the aid stations 🍽️. You won’t have to elbow your way to stay in the race. The deliberately limited capacity keeps a confidential, insiders-only feel, miles away from the big overcrowded events 😮‍💨.
A sunbath ☀️
Running during golden hour is a recipe for smiles, good mood, and good vibes. You’ll see—everyone here shares the same desire: to push themselves while having fun 😋. Plus, if you bring your phone, you might leave with the freshest, most stylish shots in your gallery. Running in the sun is good for the heart ❤️.
Run on instinct 🐺
No route to study the day before, no elevation to anticipate on Strava: you’ll discover the course only shortly before the start. Forget recon runs—it’s on race day that everything will be decided 😎. A true reset for those used to race strategies 🤫.
Toulouse, simply 🤩
The Capitole, the Jacobins convent, the Saint-Sernin district or simply the banks of the Garonne—the lovely city in south-west France is full of cute little tourist spots 📸. But beneath its well-known Pink City vibe, the city is packed with corners that even some locals have never set foot on while running. The Secret Run plays exactly that card, far from the well-trodden paths of the city center 🕵️‍♀️.
