Run for girls - Paris 2026

Run for Girls - Paris takes place in the Bois de Boulogne, focusing on supporting girls' rights and Plan International's initiatives. Participants can choose from a timed 10 km race, a non-timed 5 km run, or a 5 km walk, accommodating competitive runners, casual runners, and walkers. This race connects to Plan International’s broader efforts in children's rights, gender equality, education, public awareness, and policy advocacy. The event integrates its message into the race environment through decorations highlighting the history of girls' rights and contemporary challenges. It also emphasizes an eco-responsible strategy: no giveaway items, no plastic water bottles (participants must bring their own), eco-cups, ecological dry toilets, and a solar-powered sound system. These elements contribute to the race feeling like a cause-driven community event rather than a typical city fun run.
