Sine Qua Non Run 2026

Meet in the French capital, Paris, of course! 🇨🇵 The city opens its doors for its renowned race: the Sine Qua Non Run! 🌸 This race was created to combat sexual and gender-based violence against women and to promote equality within society. Both women and men are welcome to support together this cause 👫. Additionally, 100% of the profits will be used to finance the RUN, PLAY, FIGHT, RIDE, MOVE FOR EQUALITY program 🫶. The goal of this program is to organize free sports sessions in public spaces in over 30 French cities 📍. Each month, more than 600 women participate in this program 🌐. If you want some details, end of March, at the beginning of spring, the weather in Paris is usually mild, but it's always good to have a light jacket just in case the weather turns moody ☔. On the agenda, 2 events: a 10 km, the flagship distance of the event, and a 6 km to do in competitive mode or at your own pace! 🏆

Behind the initiative of this race is the association Sine Qua Non. It was born from the meeting of three generations of women who are determined to contribute to fighting against gender-based and sexual violence 💥. This movement aims to defend women's right to do sports where they want, when they want, and in whatever attire they choose 👏. Behind this race lies the desire to create a more respectful and egalitarian society 🟰, in which diversity is a strength 💥 for everyone 🤝. To achieve this, they chose sports, which has the power to change lives!

Let's get back to the course... 🗺️ Does Place de la République ring a bell? 🤔 Your race start will happen there, in the 11th arrondissement of Paris. Your race will start at dusk 🌛, and this schedule was not chosen at random! It corresponds to the time of day when women may feel more threatened. The goal is therefore that they no longer fear running at night. Once you've crossed the finish line, you can be genuinely proud of yourself! The crowd will applaud you, shouting “BRAVOOOO, YOU DID IT!!!” 👏. Excuse us, we're getting a bit carried away! 😅 But this cause is so dear to our hearts that we can't wait for you to participate (and we'd love to do it too, to be honest 👉👈)!  

The goal of this race is also to highlight the usefulness of sports in women's lives 🏃. A source of resilience and pride through the achievements 💪, sports also helps to empower women and believe in their abilities. Thanks to sports 🏋, they can more easily claim the place they deserve in society. The Sine Qua Non Run is thus a unique opportunity to support all these wonderful causes 🥰. Isn't that enough to make you want to challenge yourself? 🙌

But you're still in Paris, so take advantage and explore all the wonders the city has to offer! 🤩 First on your TO DO list is the Eiffel Tower. Well, yes, it's only a few kilometers from La Villette. Along the way, you can even stop at Place de la Concorde or make a detour via the Louvre 🖼️. If you want to relax a bit, we suggest a stroll in the Bois de Boulogne 😉. It's said that this wood has multiple attractions and is considered the green lung of the capital 🌳. To conclude your visit to the capital in style, you can enjoy a croque-monsieur 🥪 at a Parisian bistro 🥖, followed by a delicious mille-feuille. You'll see, it's a delight! 🤤

We're telling you straight away, we're coming, but on one Sine Qua Non condition: you come too! 😜
