📍 Jardin d’Acclimatation – Paris

Some races are all about beating the clock. And then there are those where every stride helps give a little more breath to those who need it.

For over 30 years, the Jardin d’Acclimatation has been proud to host the Virade de l’Espoir, a major day of sports, family fun, and solidarity organized to benefit the fight against cystic fibrosis.

Starting at the Jardin d’Acclimatation, come run along the paths of the Bois de Boulogne and around the Upper Lake. It’s a unique sporting experience in one of Paris’s most beautiful green spaces. Whether you’re a beginner, a running enthusiast, or an experienced athlete, there’s a challenge for everyone among the different routes on offer: 3 km (kids’ race), 5 km, or 10 km. Walkers aren’t left out either! The 7-km hike will also give you the chance to take part in this wonderful event.

But the Virade de Paris is much more than just a race! All day long, the Village of Hope will bring the Jardin d’Acclimatation to life with a variety of activities: concerts, children’s games, face-painting workshops, biathlon introductions… It’s the perfect way to extend the day in a friendly and festive atmosphere.

Whether with family, friends, or coworkers, come take on a challenge, cheer on the participants, or simply enjoy this day of solidarity.

So lace up your sneakers, round up your team, and join us on September 27 to run, smile, and support a great cause.

Register now before September 24, 2026.

On your marks, get set… go!

Admission to the Jardin d’Acclimatation is included in the registration fee.
