Our previous editions were fantastic! In 2025, we welcomed 270 enthusiastic runners and 25 dedicated volunteers. Our team is excited to announce the 5th edition this September. We are so excited! 

Race Options: 5k (Run or Walk) & 10k Run: Open to all adults and teenagers aged 12 and above. A special fun run just for kids aged 4 - 10 (of course, parents can run next to their kids at no additional cost).

La French Run 5k/10k takes you on a beautiful journey. As a special treat, after crossing the finish line, participants can relish in a tasting and degustation of authentic French pastries. Truly an "Oh là là!" experience!

While September 2026 might seem a while away, it's the perfect time to challenge yourself. Set your fitness goals with La French Run and start your preparations now! 
*Runners are not allowed to run with a stroller or a dog.
