The 14th edition of the Soli'Run, a charity race supporting Habitat and Humanisme to aid the less fortunate, is set to take place this Sunday, March 22, 2026, in the heart of the Bois de Boulogne.

The Soli'Run is making its return for the 14th edition, inviting runners who want to make a difference for the less fortunate. Whether you're a seasoned athlete or simply passionate about helping homeless communities, this is a friendly, community-driven event you won't want to miss!

Hundreds of volunteers will be on hand to welcome the 2,000 runners and walkers taking part in the event. More than just a sporting challenge, this gathering is a powerful expression of solidarity, demonstrating ongoing support for those experiencing housing difficulties — a number that continues to climb each year. All proceeds from the race will go to Habitat et Humanisme, an organization dedicated to providing affordable housing and helping vulnerable individuals integrate into society in Île-de-France.

Whether competitive or recreational, participants can choose from a variety of courses available, including two races for adults and two for children, or a walk for those wishing to support the cause at their own pace. The main Soli'Run 10K offers a scenic route that weaves through urban and natural landscapes. The event also features a vibrant village with activities throughout the morning, as well as group warm-ups led by a professional fitness coach, alongside volunteers from the organization who are on hand to share information about their initiatives.

Good news for parents: you can enjoy free access to a "kids' corner" where you can leave your children from the age of 3 during your run, subject to availability.
