DeVinci Run

Students and teachers, raise your hands and get ready, lace up your legs ! 🙌 On your marks, get set, go ! The DeVinci Run is back in April 🗓️, inviting students and athletes to a friendly and engaging 💖. We know you, young folks—you love a party and music. BINGO! ⭐️ This is all planned for the day, not to forget the run obviously 🥳. With a parcours in the Parc André-Malraux 📍, you’ll be close to the future campus of the Léonard de Vinci higher education hub! Ideal for analyzing the upcoming site where you’ll be working ardently 🧠. With a big breath of fresh air, you can start for a 10 km or a 5 km, your choice! Amid the music and the shouts, your motivation will surely be there 🔥. And if running isn’t your thing, there’s also a 2.5 km walk 🚶‍♀️.

Yes, yes, in Nanterre we promote conviviality and mutual support between everyone 🫂. For this event, you don’t need to be an elite athlete or highly ranked ✅. Just be motivated to sign up and come run 🏃. This race lets you meet new people, challenge yourself and especially explore the nature of Nanterre 🍀. Starting from the Stade Jean Guimier, the course of 5 km will take you through 2 loops of the Parc André-Malraux 💐. And of course, the 10 km, will have you completing 4 successive loops 🔄. Oh yes, you’ll start to know it by heart, perfect for the 2026 return! ☺️ We’ve talked about fun, conviviality and all that… Well, on race day, for more fun, you can run in a costume! 🦹‍♀️ Invite your coworkers—could be a great brochette 😹. Plus, you’ll also have a sports and solidarity village hosted by associations! 🎁 PSSST, you’ve got plenty of challenges throughout the day to help you win trophies, try to grab them all 🤫.

Sure, running is great, but what do you do afterward? You can… study, for example 📕. Just kidding (kind of 🫣). You can stay in Nanterre and visit the Cathédrale Sainte-Geneviève-et-Saint-Maurice, it’s worth a visit ⛪️. Otherwise, don’t worry, you’re close to Paris 🤝. Grab your Navigo pass, then the RER A, then the Metro 6 toward Bir-Hakeim and play tourist near the Eiffel Tower 🗼. Once in the center, stroll along the Champ de Mars or in the Trocadéro Gardens 🌷. Not far away, you can also check out the Invalides and the many Parisian bridges 🌉. Why not end the day at a good Parisian brewery for a day that’s perfect 🤩.

Come unleash your inner artist at the DeVinci Run! 🎨
