Parisian running enthusiasts and nature lovers, you have found what you are looking for to combine your two passions!
And this happiness has a name: Ecotrail Paris.
The idea of creating a trail (running in nature) in a partly urban environment germinated in 2007 in the head of Hervé Pardailhé-Galabrun.
“A crazy bet,” he sums up.
The objective is threefold: to organize a race in nature around Paris, to make the trail accessible to all and to discover – or rediscover – the natural, cultural and historical heritage of Île-de-France.
The first edition took place a year later, on February 16, 2008. There were then a thousand participants, very far from this year's record of around 14,500 planned for this Saturday, March 16.
Five trails of five different distances (80 km, 45 km, 30 km, 18 km and 10 km) and two Nordic walks (18 and 10 km) are on the program.
The 80 km historical category will leave at the end of the morning (departures in waves between 11:30 and 11:50 a.m.) in Saint-Quentin en Yvelines to arrive on the first floor of the Eiffel Tower.
The start of the 45 km trail will be given (around 11 a.m.) in the gardens of the Château de Versailles and its arrival will be on the Pont d'Iéna.
The Nordic walking and the 10 km trail will take place in Saint-Cloud, the arrival point for the 18 km trail which will leave from Meudon, as will the 30 km trail (arrival Pont d'Iéna).
