Held in autumn’s colorful woodlands, this popular half marathon attracts around 6,000 participants each year. The flat, fast, and scenic route starts at 9:30 AM on the Esplanade Saint‑Louis by the Château de Vincennes and winds through northern and southern loops around the Bois, passing lakes, the arboretum, and the zoo. The race offers full support with water and snack stations every 5 km, medical teams, timed bibs, pace groups targeting 1:30 through 2:15 finishes, and a 3‑hour cut‑off. The Esplanade serves as the vibrant event village, complete with bag drop, warm‑up activities, massage, t‑shirts, and finisher medals. It’s a welcoming race perfect for PB chasers, nature lovers, and anyone seeking an early‑autumn run within Paris’s largest green space.
