Start of the Ekiden 2019 – Under the rain…
The ekiden is an original race from Japan that could be translated as a “relay marathon”. The MAIF Ekiden de Paris® offers runners the opportunity to cover the 42.195km distance in the form of relays with 6 team members. The runners will take the banks of the Seine for a prestigious course in the most beautiful city in the world! Thanks to short distances, the race is accessible to as many people as possible: runners, clubs, students, companies, families, beginners in running… everyone can participate!
And why not combine this competition with a sightrunning tour of the city during your stay in Paris by running with authentic Parisian runner guides (warming up some day before the competition or recovering some day after)? Enjoy the best running routes in Paris with an original private tour, tailor-made for you:
