Run for girls 2026

Run for Girls is a solidarity run held in Paris's Bois de Boulogne, focusing on girls' rights and gender equality. Plan International France organizes this event, which welcomes all participants, not just competitive runners. The organizers also describe it as eco-responsible, connecting a social cause with a reduced environmental impact. The run takes place in early October, shortly before the International Day of the Girl Child on October 11. The meeting point is near Carrefour du Bout des Lacs, close to Route de la Muette on the Neuilly side of the park. Funds raised support Plan International's initiatives for girls. This race was the first solidarity run in France established specifically to advance girls' rights. This link is integral: Plan International initiated the International Day of the Girl Child, making the race's timing directly relevant to its supported cause.
