If you’re an avid runner and can handle the long haul, this one is for you! In its 31st year, this annual jaunt takes runners from beneath the Eiffel Tower to the Sun King’s domain…Versailles. The whole treck is 16 km, so if you can handle 3 5Ks in a row, why not give it a try? (I say as I eat a piece of chocolate cake…)

This race is particularly fun because of all the spectators: people bring the entire family to cheer runners on. The scenery is quite breathtaking as well, from the banks of the Seine to the gardens of Versailles.
