The "Hare and the Tortoise" Night Run 2026

Hare or tortoise, it doesn't matter: in Maisse, everyone arrives right on time. Join us in Essonne for The night run of the "Hare and the Tortoise", 19 km with a headlamp in the heart of nature 🌙.

You'll run 19 km through the Essonne countryside, when the forest falls asleep and your senses awaken. The beam of your headlamp dances between the trees, the air is cool, and the sounds of the night keep you company… 🦉

No need to dash like a hare: what matters is to enjoy yourself, to share the experience and to cross the finish line with a smile. So, do you prefer to race ahead or to savor it? 🐢

And after the effort, the reward! The next day, take the time to explore the surroundings, you've earned it. In Milly-la-Forêt, stroll beneath the old market hall and through the village lanes, then treat yourself to a coffee on a terrace. A little further on, the Château de Courances unfolds its gardens and reflecting pools, a real postcard for an outing as a couple or with the family 🏰. The Gâtinais français Regional Natural Park also offers peaceful walks under the trees to gently loosen up your legs 🌿.

So, ready to take the start? Your best night run awaits you in Maisse.
