Vivicitta

In Saint-Ouen, we’re not just racing against the clock, we’re racing with the whole world ! 🌍

Located in Seine-Saint-Denis, in the heart of Île-de-France, the Vivicittà is far more than just a competition 🤓. You’ll literally "live the city"! 🏙️ Yes, that’s what vivicitta in Italian 🇮🇹 means. Created in 1983this international simultaneous event lets you measure yourself against thousands of other athletes worldwide thanks to a unique ranking 📊. In Saint-Ouen-sur-Seine, the event marks its twentieth anniversary 🎂 and offers 6 events to suit everyone, for the duration of a sunny April morning ☀️: 10 km, 5 km, relay 2 x 5 km 🤝, Nordic walking, roller... 🛴 And all on a course accessible to wheelchairs ♿️.

Yes indeed, the route is mostly urban and very smooth! It takes you through the streets of the legendary city with Flea Markets 🗺️. But did you know it’s actually the largest antique market in the world ? 🏺 You’ll pass near this historic spot where shoppers and curious minds flock every weekend 🛍️. The course is even ideal for setting a time over 5 km or 10 km, with a virtually flat relief that spares your calves while you soak up the city energy 🏙️. The vibe is mainly lively and community-driven 🎉. Here, no barriers, we promote peace and solidarity 🤗. We’ll encounter international delegations and hundreds of volunteers from the USMA and from FSGT who cheer you on 📣. It’s a true hive of smiles and positive vibes that often ends with a convivial moment at the race village 🏃‍♀️, where the sharing of cultures is the watchword 🥰.

For after the race, we recommend a stroll through the Grand Parc des Docks, a green lung of 12 hectares perfect for a family outing 🌳. If you’re still hungry for discoveries, swing by the Halle Communale : the ideal spot to taste local specialties or simply chill after the effort 💆‍♀️. That’s also what it means to live the city ! 🍻

Put on your sneakers and join the world’s largest two-way race right next to the capital! 😎
