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.
