Beyond Paris, there are other events worth exploring, in places like Yvelines or Seine-et-Marne, featuring stunning trail runs in the heart of nature, winding through the heritage of the Île-de-France region, its forests, and castles.
Why not take advantage of these events to get back into the swing of things ? Running is accessible to everyone, with little equipment required and a multitude of places to train, in Paris parks or country lanes. Start slowly with short sessions, then gradually increase duration and intensity.
