Tips & Advice
- Collect your bib at the Christmas village on the Friday or Saturday, because no bibs are handed out on race day.
- Reserve a Babychou childcare slot when you buy your bib if you're running, because the free service has to be booked ahead.
- Pack your race-day things into a bag of 20 litres or less, because that's the largest size the Cité des Sports bag check accepts.
- Take the T2 tram to Jacques-Henri Lartigue, bus 123 to Ferber-Galliéni or metro line 12 to Mairie d'Issy, because the nearby car parks charge.
- Go to the Bureau des Solutions at the Cité des Sports if anything goes wrong with your bib, costume or T-shirt.
Special Events & Promotions
- New this year: an 800 m Parcours Découverte joins the race lineup.
- Early-bird pricing: the first runners to register in each race get a lower rate before the standard and higher price tiers apply.
- Free Babychou childcare for runners' children at the Cité des Sports, booked when you buy your bib.
