The Course des Lumières is back this year, because research needs support more than ever. Join us on November 15, 2025 in Paris for this sporting event organized by theInstitut Curie, , half of whose proceeds are donated to cancer research. Sporty or not, participants can choose between a 5km or 10km timed run or a 5km walking course in the heart of the City of Light.
In 2020, the Course des Lumières raised over 220,000 euros for the fight against cancer. A sum that helped advance research into this disease, which remains the leading cause of death in France, with almost 149,000 deaths a year. 1 in 5 men and 1 in 6 women will develop cancer in their lifetime. The aim of this nocturnal event is to raise awareness of the fight against cancer and give hope to sufferers, by helping to find appropriate treatments, thanks to donations.
Each participant will have a luminous object, to light up the night against cancer. Children under 14 are also welcome to walk at their own pace. In keeping with the convivial spirit of the event, the Village des Lumières will offer participants entertainment throughout the evening, including photo booths and DJ sets. A great time to share with family and friends!
