La Grande Course RATP du Grand Paris concludes on the track within the Stade de France, providing even the shorter races with a stadium finish. This early-April road race takes place in Paris and the wider Grand Paris region, offering 5 km, 10 km, and half marathon distances, alongside a 3 km children's race. The event is designed for broad participation, not exclusively for elite runners, with organizers anticipating over 16,000 participants across all distances.
The routes are intended to connect Paris with its surrounding areas, fostering a city-to-suburb atmosphere that aligns with the Grand Paris concept. The 5 km course goes by the Olympic Aquatic Center before the common finish at the Stade de France. The race is presented as accessible to all, drawing a relatively young field on average. Organizers place significant focus on minimizing environmental impact, ensuring accessibility, promoting solidarity, and uniting diverse Grand Paris territories on the same participant list.
