Get your sneakers ready for an event that goes far beyond the borders of Val-de-Marne! โ๏ธ Vivicittร is an opportunity to run for peace and international solidarity, in the heart of Vitry-sur-Seine, in the รle-de-France region ๐ซ๐ท. For this 10th edition held over two days in April, the event is based on a strong history ๐ช. This concept was born in 1983, driven by the Italian Union of Sport for All (UISP) ๐ฎ๐น. With a great list of events on the program, you are participating in the "largest race in the world ยป โญ๏ธ. How so? Simply because it is a simultaneous event, gathering thousands of runners in 60 cities around the globe! ๐ So you will be running at the same time as people in Sarajevo, Algeria or Kyoto ๐ฒ. The main format is a 10 km timed race, but the offer is varied with a 5 km (timed or free pace) and a duo relay of 10 km.
Well, let us introduce the distances a bit better. As you understood, we start strong, with the mythical race, the 10 km timed format โ . Since it remains a good challenge, you can also do it in a relay ๐ฏโโ๏ธ. Yes, remember sharing and solidarity, are the kings of the day! ๐ If you want a more relaxed challenge, a 5 km timed and a non-timed option are available ๐. So either you aim to beat your time, or you choose a chill pace, to enjoy a good run ๐งโโ๏ธ. Since no one should be left out, children are well highlighted in this event. The aim of this race is to defend a cause AND bring together as many people as possible, so children, we won't forget them โผ๏ธ Depending on their age, they can participate in a 500m, 1300m, or 2000m race, the champions will be right before your eyes! ๐ Oh, we almost forgot about one crazy race. The "R'Vivi," an intergenerational relay in a quartet! ๐ That, in terms of solidarity, is impressive! ๐ฅ
The race's DNA is based on an act of resistance through sport ๐โโ๏ธ. Organized by FSGT 94, the event advocates for social justice and environmental respect ๐ฑ. It's a popular running event where you'll meet professional athletes as well as Sundays joggers๐ซ. What makes it unique is its international adjusted ranking โก๏ธ. The medical sports institute has established precise parameters, according to the elevation profile (end the elevation, it's simpler ๐คฃ) of each host city ๐. Result: your time in Vitry is weighted and compared fairly with that of a runner on the other side of the world ๐. You can then download your official diploma directly on the UISP website, giving you a great memento ๐.
Sure, you run simultaneously with runners worldwide, but you can't travel with themโฆ ๐งณ That's sad, but don't worry, you can also enjoy this race to plan a good weekend ๐โโ๏ธ. Only 8 minutes of transport and there you are in the heart of Paris! Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, Louvre Museum, youโฆ That's a lot of stars per m2 ๐คฉ. Kidding aside, there are many visits to do! ๐ผ But one thing we recommend is having a beautiful clichรฉ day in the capital. So here's the plan: start with a cafรฉ on the terrace, stroll along the Seine banks โ๏ธ, French meal in a typical brasserie, visits of various monuments, and ending the evening in a good Parisian bouillon ๐ฅ. Per-fect โจ.
Between doing a good deed, highlighting your values, and participating in a great race, here, there's no need to choose, you do everything at once! โจ
The ranking 10 km, is the flagship course to test your endurance and appear on the world ranking ๐. The route consists of an urban loop in Vitry-sur-Seine, mostly on wide paved avenues ๐.
The profile is quite flat, allowing you to maintain a steady pace without any issues ๐งโโ๏ธ. You pass by community hubs, buoyed by the energy of fellow runners ๐โโ๏ธ. Itโs an ideal distance to confirm your progress on asphalt โ .
The 5 km (timed or at a leisurely pace) is perfect for a restart or to participate without the fatigue of a 10 km ๐ฅ. It takes a portion of the main course, ensuring the same atmosphere and a passage through the animation zones โ๏ธ.
In the "free pace" version, it's total freedom: you can run at your own pace, without the stress of the time limit, simply to support the cause ๐.
In a rather unusual format, this race "R'Vivi" is intergenerational! ๐ด The program is simple: the first relay runs 400m, the second relay 500m, third: 800m, and the fourth and final relay 1,300m. Let's not forget that the goal is to have perfect solidarity, so the last 200 meters are done TOGETHER ๐ฅณ. Also, of course, the ages must be different among all the runners ๐โโ๏ธ.
For children, the distances are as follows:
They will all be delighted ๐.
