10 km du Bois de Boulogne 2027

The 10 km du Bois de Boulogne is a spring road 10K run on asphalt within Paris's Bois de Boulogne, located in the 16th arrondissement. It begins on Avenue de Saint-Cloud in the morning and utilizes seven starting corrals, accommodating a field that can exceed 5,000 participants. Registration is open to runners aged 16 and older, with the standard French requirement of an FFA license or PPS certificate. It is a direct Paris race: brief enough for novices, structured enough for contenders, and designed for individuals aiming for a swift 10K. The course winds beneath the trees of a park spanning over 800 hectares, offering a more tranquil setting than a city-center road race, despite being within Paris. The route features approximately 60 meters of elevation gain, noticeable but not hindering its potential as a fast course. The Bois de Boulogne, historically a royal hunting ground, is now a favored location for Parisians to train, walk, and compete on weekends. The event attracts club runners, those completing their first 10K, and individuals seeking a spring performance benchmark without excessive fanfare.
