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 sporting side. No, not rugby or swimming, even though we hold Antoine Dupont as dearly as Léon Marchand in our hearts, but about 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 #3: Night 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: all of that you’ll discover in due time 🤪. At the time of registration, you’ll only know the date, the distance range and a difficulty level to get through the challenge ⚔️. In your case, a range of 5 to 8 kilometers awaits you. Sure, that may seem short, but if you’re already burnt out after 5 km, we can assure you the last 3 will be tricky to manage 😂. And as the name suggests, it’s the "night" version that’s waiting for you in summer 2027 👀. So we recommend you remember your headlamp—you’ll probably really need it (especially to admire the places you’ll be running through 🔦).

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 the information. In June, get ready to discover the first edition of a long series, with an exceptional atmosphere and the friendly vibe specific 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, treat yourself to a little listening session with Pascal Dupraz: a good Toulouse-style motivating speech never hurts 🗣️.

4 reasons to join this race

Run on instinct 🐺
No route to study the day before, no elevation to anticipate on Strava: you only discover the course shortly before the start. Forget reconnaissance runs—everything will be decided on race day 😎. A real reset for those used to race strategies 🤫.
The nighttime atmosphere 🌙
Well, we don't know exactly what the organizers have in store for you (or maybe we do, but we're not allowed to tell you 🤪), but what's certain is that the name "night session" clearly suggests a night race. You'll discover the beautiful Occitan capital from a new angle—probably more dark than pink 🕯️. Batteries replaced?
500 bibs, no more, no less 🫡
Here, draw a line under the human tides at the start and the endless queues at the aid stations 🍽️. You won't have to elbow your way through to stay in the race. The deliberately limited cap keeps a confidential, insiders-only spirit, a world away from the big overcrowded events 😮‍💨.
Toulouse, simply 🤩
The Capitole, the Jacobins convent, the Saint-Sernin district, or simply the banks of the Garonne—the lovely city in southwest France is full of cute little tourist spots 📸. But beneath its well-known Pink City look, the place is packed with corners that even some locals have never run through. The Secret Run banks precisely on that, far from the well-worn paths of the city center 🕵️‍♀️.

A word from the organizer:
