Normally, visitors head to the Roland-Garros Stadium to watch thrilling tennis matches. But after hosting boxing bouts and even stand-up performances, the famous clay court is getting a new purpose: running! The Run Set & Match event is making a comeback, offering both jogging enthusiasts and tennis fans a chance to explore a whole new playing field. It’s also an opportunity to discover every corner of the stadium, on July 5, 2026.
For adults, the day kicks off with a 10-kilometer race taking place inside and around the stadium, weaving through the pathways, courts, Bois de Boulogne, and the 16th arrondissement, culminating at the foot of the legendary Philippe-Chatrier Court. For children aged 7 to 15, three race options are available: 500 meters, 1 km, 2 km, and 3 km—perfect for family fun along a scenic and iconic route. And for supporters wishing to cheer you on, accompanying tickets are available at 7.5 euros.
Throughout the day, a variety of activities will be on offer! Challenge yourself with stair races on Philippe-Chatrier, participate in sprints through the pathways, enjoy guided stadium tours, relax with cold baths or massages, try your hand at outdoor games, or dance to DJ sets at a lively village. There’s also a food court and outdoor activities like urban tennis and wheelchair tennis, not to mention access to the Tennis Museum and its exhibits—all included in your day’s pass.
