Le Lions Paris 9 Run fait son grand retour au printemps le 21 mars 2027 !

A sporting, civic, and 100% community-minded event

More than a simple athletic race, the Lions Paris 9 Run is a true civic gathering that transforms the streets of the 9th arrondissement into a space for meeting, sharing, and community. Open to everyone — residents, families, novice or experienced runners, businesses, and associations —, the event pairs personal achievement with commitment.

The main goal of this 22nd edition is clear: use sport as a concrete driver of solidarity by supporting inclusive education for children with disabilities. All funds collected will be donated to the Helen Keller Fund, helping to finance adapted educational equipment, specialized support, and fostering independence and access to culture for these children. Since the race's creation, more than 60 000 € have already been raised thanks to community mobilization.

Three formats for three times the enjoyment

To allow everyone to participate according to their preferences and fitness level, organizers offer three distinct courses through iconic landmarks of the 9th arrondissement:

The Family Run: Ideal for sharing a festive, supportive moment with family or friends (parents, children, grandparents). With no competitive spirit, the aim is to unite for a good cause and raise awareness among younger generations. (250 participants expected)

The 5 km of the 9th — Exploring the 9th: Perfect for beginning runners or those wishing to take on an urban challenge without stopwatch pressure. A wonderful opportunity to rediscover the district from another angle. (500 runners expected)

The 10 km — The timed race: The must-attend event for runners and challenge enthusiasts seeking a timed performance in a unique Parisian setting. (3 500 runners expected)

For this 2027 edition, organizers aim to bring together 4 000 participants across all events.
