The Virade de Paris returns for another edition on September 28, 2025 at the Jardin d'Acclimatation. On the program: races, hikes and events to help in the fight against cystic fibrosis.

This Sunday, September 28, 2025, the Jardin d'Acclimatation invites sports enthusiasts and amateurs alike to come and run or walk in the Bois de Boulogne alleys. As with every edition of the Paris Virade de l'Espoir, the day is an opportunity for everyone to get involved in the fight against cystic fibrosis. The program for this day of solidarity? Hundreds of volunteers and thousands of participants will be mobilized at the Village de l'Espoir, to collect as many donations as possible.

To take part, you can choose between the Course du Souffle and its three courses: the 10km for athletes of all levels, the 5km for families or Sunday sports enthusiasts, and the 3.5km for the very young. If you prefer to walk, but would still like to take part in this solidarity event, the Randonnée du Souffle invites you to take part in a supervised 8km hike or a free-access 3km walk, accessible to all, at your own pace.

You'll also be able to stroll between the stands and activities, with concerts, fairground games, face-painting workshops, biathlon initiation, gourmet stands and sales of local produce. An ephemeral restaurant will even be set up in the Orangerie of the Jardin d'Acclimatation to serve the traditional giant paella in aid of cystic fibrosis research. Entrance to the garden is included for runners, walkers and their companions.

More than 250 virades take place on the same day - find out which one is closest to you! Last year, the Paris virades raised 150,000 euros for cystic fibrosis research.
