To raise funds for wounded soldiers, Parisians are invited to run or walk from 1.5 to 10 kilometers, starting at Les Invalides and looping around the monument, on Sunday, May 10, 2026.

On Sunday, May 10, 2026, the Invalides stand in solidarity with war-wounded, with several races organized in support of the Bleuet de France. The Military Governor of Paris invites you to get moving at one of the three races or during a walk, ranging from 1.5 to 10 kilometers, to raise funds for those who have given their lives in the service of the Nation. On the program: an exceptional route around the Invalides, starting from Place Vauban, to be run multiple times for the longer races.

At this charity event, civilians, service members, injured participants and paralympic athletes will come together, all united around the same cause. Several distances and race formats are on offer to suit both families and seasoned runners, with three 1.5km races (ages 9 to 15), 5km (from age 14) and 10km (from age 16) or a 1.5km walk for all-comers.

To add to the festivities, runners can look forward to a host of events in the southern gardens of the Hôtel National des Invalides, including awareness-raising workshops, testimonials, an introduction to lifesaving techniques and the presence of the Paris Fire Brigade dog team.
