Valentine’s Day Race 2027 in Paris: a 5 km duo run and a 10 km course at the Buttes-Chaumont.

The Valentine's Day Run is back on Saturday, February 13, 2027, at Parc des Buttes-Chaumont in Paris. The Paris Front Runners offer a 10 km solo, a 5 km for two, and the Cupid option to run with a partner assigned by the organizers.

Run as a pair or go solo: the Valentine’s Day Run returns on Saturday, February 13, 2027 at the Parc des Buttes-Chaumont, in the 19th arrondissement of Paris. Organized by the Paris Front Runners, this event blends distance running with a stand against discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.

On a 2.5 km loop, the 5 km in tandem is run over two laps, with a common rule: partners start and finish together. The 10 km solo consists of four laps. The Cupidon option allows individual registration for the 5 km: the organizing team will pair you with a running partner. Non-binary and transgender runners are welcome, with podium categories planned by the organizers.

The 5 km race is scheduled to start at 10:00 a.m., followed by the 10 km at 10:05 a.m. Participants are asked to assemble at the starting line by 9:20 a.m. Costumes are part of the event, with a dedicated costume podium. A charity raffle is planned for the 2027 edition.

Pricing and Registration

The prices listed on the organizer’s site are €17.50 for the 10 km solo, plus €1.39 in processing fees; €24 for the two-person 5 km Duo, with €1.80 in fees; and €12 per person for the 5 km Cupid, with €1.14 in fees. The two teammates in the Duo package must register together. Access to registrations goes through the 2027 edition ticketing.
