As every year, the Front Runners of Paris join forces with the Paris International Tournament to bring excitement to the track, the road, and the hearts of all. Two days of sport, sharing, and self-improvement, where performance goes hand in hand with pride, inclusion, and friendliness.

On Saturday, May 23, and Sunday, May 24, 2026, more than 150 participants and volunteers are expected to celebrate athletics and running in all its forms, in a spirit that is both festive and committed.

​

🔥 Athletics in all its diversity
A full day dedicated 100% to athletics at the Alain Mimoun Stadium, with a series of iconic and unconventional events, open to everyone: the 3000 m, 400 m, 1500 m, long jump, or shot put, as well as more playful formats that are a hallmark of the Front Runners, such as the purse throw.

This day is also an opportunity to step out of your comfort zone and experience sports in a different way:

• Introduction to guiding and running with a visual impairment:
  A profound, human, and sensory experience, running in a new way, guided by voice, trust, and listening.

• Retro-running (800 m):
  Running… but backwards. A challenge as fun as it is demanding, that shakes up perceptions and sparks as many smiles as applause from the stands.

 

🏃 Two distances to get momentum and run together!

Heading to the Bois de Vincennes for the traditional 5km & 10km road running events.

Two distances, one same spirit: running together, at your own pace, fueled by the collective energy of the champions you are, and on a natural course perfect for both enjoyment and performance.

 

🙌 How about bringing your buddy?

Because events are crazier together, we also suggest bringing a friend, a colleague, or a loved one to let them discover the event and experience TIP together, on track or on the road.

 

✨ And finally, maybe a few surprises…

As often happens at TIP, some personalities might show up on the track, cheer, participate, or hand out medals…

We won’t give you more details, but keep your eyes open! ...
