Salomon Ecotrail Paris

There’s more than just asphalt in the Île-de-France, and that’s what you’ll discover if you take part in the Salomon Ecotrail de Paris! The capital opens its doors to fans of responsible sport by offering 9 different distances. So grab your tickets because you’re sure to find the distance that suits you 😏. And yes, you can choose between 7 trail distances (120 km, 80 km, 45 km, 35 km, 30 km, 20 km, 10 km) and 2 Nordic walks (20 km and 10 km). Isn’t that great? And you haven’t seen anything yet... Wait to cross the numerous parks and woods, stroll along the beautiful Seine and climb the levels of the Eiffel Tower 😍.

Even though the Dame de Fer, the Champ-de-Mars and the historic sites are the stars of the different routes, know that you’ll mainly get to enjoy an exceptionally natural setting 🌤. Indeed, if you’re not familiar with the concept of an EcoTrail, it involves using preserved natural trails to raise awareness among runners and the public about the fragility of the environment. The main goal of such a competition is to awaken minds to climate urgency through a awareness campaign 🤝. Thus, every piece of litter is sorted and collected, trails are cleaned, and products used are sustainable, local, and in season... Mmmh, it makes you want to wander in the forest non? 🍂

But enough about the concept, on to the routes! The race starts will take place in unusual settings. Drumroll... 🥁 You can choose between the terrace of the Paris Observatory in Meudon (which is usually closed to the public—lucky you!), the Ile de Loisirs de Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelinesthe Domain of the Versailles Château or the Domaine National de Saint-Cloud... 😯 That might make you want to sing at the top of your lungs the La Marseillaise while you explore the iconic spots of our heritage 🎙. By the way, the highlight of most races is the Eiffel Tower itself, lucky. But the races are mainly in nature, averaging about 85 to 90% green spaces.

So, what motivates you the most? Nature, monuments, or environmental commitment? Whatever your answer, the EcoTrail Paris will treat you to a feast. Come break the monotony of Parisian life and the saying "the metro, work, sleep." You won’t be disappointed to realize it’s just as nice to stroll around the region without suffocating while enjoying its splendid natural areas! 😄 After your race, you’re invited to linger to discover even more the City of Light and its surroundings 🥐.
