The 10 km HOKA Paris Centre is a flat 10 km road race through central Paris, typically held in mid-November. Runners begin on Rue de Rivoli, with the race village located at Place du Palais Royal, and conclude on Avenue de l'Opéra. This is a city race, utilizing wide Paris streets and well-known landmarks in the capital's core, rather than a park circuit.
The course crosses Boulevard des Italiens, Place des Victoires, and Boulevard Haussmann before the final approach to the Opéra district. Its level terrain offers a suitable challenge for newcomers and provides experienced runners with a fast 10 km objective. The event attracts a diverse audience, including spectators, visitors, and musical ensembles along the route. Participants receive a T-shirt and medal upon finishing. This race, now in its twentieth edition around the mid-2020s, is a fixture in Paris.
