🤔 What is THE 1ST KILOMETER?
A run with no timing, no rankings, no pressure. A one-kilometer loop to complete one or several times around the Grande Halle de La Villette.
Feel free to come with your cheer squad—friends, family, or supporters—to get them into running too, and who knows… maybe inspire them to run their very first kilometer, the one that could lead them all the way to the HOKA Semi de Paris 2027 😛
Goal: zero pressure, 100% fun, in a friendly and supportive atmosphere the day before your half marathon.
🤝🏽 Run to support the ETENDART association
By taking part in this run, you directly support the actions of the Étendart association, which helps young people from priority neighborhoods in Paris by using sport, art, and culture as tools for empowerment and self-confidence.
Each registration and donation helps fund concrete projects on the ground and encourages these young Parisians to take up running.
🏃🏼 A shared memory before your half marathon
On the eve of your HOKA Semi de Paris, this solidarity run is the perfect way to warm up before race day. Share the day before your race with your supporters, family, and friends, and get the green light before the big day.
