Runcamp: 24 hours of nonstop racing, intense team relay, and outdoor camping in Saint-Cloud

Are you bored with the typical simple running? If so, Runcamp might just be what you're looking for! The inaugural edition of this team relay race promises to be particularly intense, designed as a shared adventure rather than a solo challenge. Between 2 and 8 participants, you'll need to run nonstop for 24 hours, on June 20 and 21, 2026, covering a six-kilometer loop through the natural landscapes of Hauts-de-Seine, in the heart of the Domaine de Saint-Cloud.

Only one team member runs at a time, while the rest cheer on and relax in the living camp set up at the heart of the grounds—surrounded by preserved natural landscapes, majestic forest paths, historic statues, and fountains. Participants settle into a bustling bivouac zone filled with music—celebrating the Fête de la Musique weekend—and festive moments created by themed bars, play areas, and relaxation spots.

For this race, there's no individual timing, but rather team cohesion with a single goal: cover as much distance as possible over the course of 24 hours. Keep in mind, while the relay is open to all athletes, the more participants you have, the easier (and more affordable) it becomes. Running in pairs or threesomes means intense effort, with frequent relays and minimal rest, but once you reach six runners, the challenge is much more manageable and balanced.

Of course, the final rankings are determined for each team category, which can be mixed and where participants run at their own pace. From Saturday at 2 p.m. to Sunday at 2 p.m., during the longest weekend of the year, everyone will need to give their all in hopes of winning this unique race! And for those looking to cheer on their loved ones, the venue is open to the public during the day but remains closed at night.
