The 2025 Lions of Hope Race: a charity sporting event at Parc de Sceaux (92)

On November 16, 2025, the Course des Lions de l'Espoir will take place in the magnificent Parc de Sceaux, in the Hauts-de-Seine department. This charity event is open to everyone, whether you're a seasoned runner or a beginner, with two accessible distances, a 5km and a 10km, a non-timed walk, and a 900m race for children. All proceeds will go towards social and cultural assistance for people in precarious situations or with disabilities.

The race is organized by the Lions Clubs of the south of the department, associations that work locally to offer leisure and a better life to people in need. They regularly organize events of this type, with the aim of helping disadvantaged students, planting depolluting trees in the city, organizing vacations for underprivileged children, or developing connected white canes for the visually impaired.

This 21st edition will be held in aid of an association supporting Arthur Bellitto, a 17-year-old athlete who is preparing for the Paralympic Games in Los Angeles and trains in Antony, as well as other sports and disability associations.
