The event in a few words

See you in the French capital, Paris, of course! 🇨🇵 The city opens its doors for its committed and festive race: the Sine Qua Non Run! 🌸 This race was created to fight sexual and sexist violence against women and to promote equality within society. Women and men are therefore welcome to support this cause together 👫. Moreover, 100% of the profits will go toward funding the RUN, PLAY, FIGHT, RIDE, MOVE FOR EQUALITY program 🫶. The goal of this program is to organize free sports sessions in public spaces across more than 30 French cities 📍. Each month, more than 600 women take part in this program 🌐. If you'd like a few details: at the end of March, at the start of spring, the weather in Paris is often mild, but it's always a good idea to bring a light jacket in case the weather gets moody ☔. On the agenda: 2 events: a 10 km, the event's flagship distance, and a 5.5 km to run in competitive mode or at your own pace, but with kindness! 🏆

Behind the initiative for this race is the association Sine Qua Non. It was born from the meeting of three generations of women who are determined to act to help fight sexist and sexual violence 💥. This movement aims to defend women's right to do sport wherever they want, whenever they want and in whatever outfit they want 👏. Behind this race lies the desire to create a more respectful and more egalitarian society 🟰, in which mixed participation is a strength 💥 for everyone 🤝. To do so, they chose sport, which has the power to change lives!

Let's get back to the course... 🗺️ Place de la République, does that ring a bell? 🤔 The start of your race will be there, in the 11th arrondissement of Paris. Your race will begin at nightfall 🌛, and this time was not chosen by chance! It corresponds to the time of day when women may feel most threatened. The goal is therefore for them to no longer be afraid of running at night. Once you cross the finish line, you'll be able to be incredibly proud of yourself! The crowd will applaud you, shouting "BRAVOOOO, YOU DID IT!!!" 👏. Sorry, we're getting a bit carried away! 😅 But this cause is so close to our hearts that we can't wait for you to take part (and we'd like to as well, it's true 👉👈)!

The goal of this race is also to highlight the usefulness of sport in women's lives 🏃. A source of resilience and pride through the performances achieved 💪, sport also helps give women confidence and believe in their abilities. Thanks to sport 🏋, they can more easily take the place they deserve in society. The Sine Qua Non Run is therefore a unique opportunity to support all these wonderful causes 🥰. Enough to come and challenge yourself there, right? 🙌

But you're still in Paris, so take the opportunity to visit all the wonders the city has to offer! 🤩 First of all, the first TO DO on your list is the Eiffel Tower. Well yes, it's only a few kilometers from La Villette. On your way, you can even stop at place de la Concorde or make a detour to the Louvre 🖼️. If you want to relax a bit, we recommend a little stroll in the Bois de Boulogne 😉. Apparently this park has many attractions and is considered the green lung of the capital 🌳. To finish your visit of the capital in style, you can enjoy a croque-monsieur 🥪 seated at a Parisian bistro 🥖, followed by a delicious mille-feuille. Trust us, it's amazing! 🤤

We'll tell you straight: we're coming, but on the Sine Qua Non condition that you come too! 😜

4 reasons to join this race

Run to support women's cause 🙋‍♀️
The number one reason to join the race is simply its purpose: running to fight sexual and sexist violence 🙁. At nightfall, the goal is also to help women reclaim the city streets at a time of day when they may feel threatened 💪.
Accessible distances for a friendly event 🏃
Here, there are two distances, 5.5 and 10 km, so you can choose the one that suits you and run at your own pace! That way, everyone can join the party and support the cause behind the race 😌.
To share a great collective moment 🤩
Between the village atmosphere, the start at nightfall and the cheering along the course, you'll have plenty to recharge your energy! An evening to run together and advance equality 🎯. No marathon on the program: a 5 km and a 10 km let everyone find their place, whether the goal is a fast time or the desire to run together 😌. The start pens are not speed pens. All paces mix in a friendly atmosphere, and everyone commits to passing without pushing 🤗.
An evening that continues at the village 🎉
The Sine Qua Non Run is also a meeting point to share before and after the race! Enjoy the village activities, meet up with your loved ones and extend the evening in a friendly atmosphere. So come run and stay for the party! 🙌

Message from the organizer:

"Changing routes, giving up going out, watching what you wear: women should never have to limit their freedom in order to do sport. It is violence that must recede. On March 27, we will gather at place de la République, at nightfall, to say it loud and clear and to occupy the streets of Paris together. Women and men, we all have a role to play. The Sine Qua Non Run is both a celebration and a mobilization: come run with us so that this freedom becomes a reality, every day, everywhere!"

A few more words

For this 10 km, you will run along the quays, just like the 5 km participants! 😉 However, if you're good at counting, you'll need to add 5 km to the counter 🧮. Your route will be the same as the 5 km, but you won't turn back at the first Bassin de la Villette! You will keep going and run along the second Bassin de la Villette. You will take the Quai de Gironde, along the Canal Saint-Denis, then run around the Parc de la Villette 🌿. After this nature escape, you will reach the banks of the Canal de l'Ourcq, which you will cross near the Centre national de danse contemporaine. Once on the opposite bank, you can easily follow the motto of Dory in Finding Nemo: "Just keep swimming"! 🐠 You will then be able to cross the finish line located at Place de la République 🥰.
