The event in a few words

Want to take on a new challenge in the heart of the magnificent French capital? 👒 The 10 km of the Stars is indeed a road race in the center of Paris, which will allow you to gather with other runners, exchange ideas and surpass yourself. So, together, head to the capital to reach for the stars, if not the moon 🌙.

This event will kick off from the Place du Palais Royal 🏁. Your mission, to cover the 10 km of racing along the Parisian quays and the Seine quays. Accompanied by the springtime mildness of March, you'll encounter optimal racing conditions! It's a chance to slip on your seven-league boots for the start of this magical event and shine the French tourism sector😍. In addition to the t-shirt, bag, and medal, a grandiose breakfast is offered with coffee to energize you before and after your effort, not bad, eh? ☕️ Highly sought after, the event quickly sells out, you can find the registration limit in our FAQ! 🎽

The magical route prepared by the organizers will be like a ping-pong game, switching from the right bank to the left bank! 🏓 And to achieve that, you'll have to cross many bridges. You'll run like a shooting star among the countless historical monuments of the capital that will follow one another, with the particularity of having the Eiffel Tower in sight for a large portion of the route, and that's hard to refuse 🤷‍♂️. The Eiffel Tower will mark the 6 km point of your race, and you will have to follow the same quays used on the way back for the finish ❤️. As mentioned earlier, you will rediscover many iconic sites of the capital, and because we’re very nice, here’s a sneak peek of what you’ll have the chance to admire 😎: A start from Place du Palais Royal, then the Louvre, the Tuileries Garden, the Trocadéro Esplanade, Place de la Concorde, etc... So whether you're a record-seeker, with family, or friends, come and try your hand at the Parisian cobblestones 🤩.

For this edition of the 10 km of the Stars, the organizers have hit hard by selecting a cause in line with the values of this race: solidarity, cohesion, and good cheer. The Laurette Fugain Association, which fights against leukemia, will receive part of the registration fees 👏. But it’s not the only association highlighted! The Antoine Alléno Association will also be supported. This association, which aims to prevent acts of violence against children, assists victims under the age of 25 and their families 💪. And finally, this year, the 10 km of the Stars will also welcome the Barth Syndrome Association to the expo village.

After your race, we suggest exploring the Louvre Museum, since you’ll already be on-site, it would be a shame not to have a look. So go challenge Mona Lisa with your gaze and admire the Venus de Milo or the extensive Egyptian collection 🖼. Next, get lost in the streets of the Marais, a very popular district of the capital for its gastronomy and numerous shops 🛍️. As you’ve surely understood, we advocate for French gastronomic and hotel excellence 🤌. So, if you have eyes bigger than your stomach and wish to savor exceptional dishes, head to one of the 121 Michelin-starred restaurants in Paris. 121 yes, isn’t that huge? 😲 But beware, a little onion soup or a croque-monsieur at one of the countless Parisian brasseries will also do very well 🥣.

So, follow your lucky star and come try the 10 km of the Stars! 😊
