Course des Vendanges

Course des Vendanges is a night run through Montmartre, in Paris's 18th arrondissement. It is part of the Fête des Vendanges de Montmartre and is more of a playful neighborhood race than a formal road-racing event, with experienced runners and amateurs running together. The route uses the streets of Montmartre, so runners will encounter hills and changes in elevation rather than a flat course. The race encourages bright colors, mismatched running shoes or socks, and a festive mood, fitting for an area where old Paris streets, local history, and younger energy meet.
