La Génovéfaine 2027

La Génovéfaine is a 10 km road race held in Sainte-Geneviève-des-Bois, located in the Essonne department south of Paris. Participants start at 8 PM on a Friday evening, offering a distinct atmosphere compared to typical weekend morning races. The event includes both an individual 10 km race and a 10 km relay, allowing runners to compete solo or share the distance with a partner. The course remains within the town on asphalt roads, crossing the urban streets of Sainte-Geneviève-des-Bois instead of venturing into the adjacent forest. The terrain is largely flat, making the race suitable for those aiming for a consistent pace, a personal best, or an initial competitive effort over 10 km. Organized by La Génovéfaine, the event accommodates various participants, including club runners, local residents, relay teams, and individuals seeking a manageable introduction to road racing.
