A huge adventure, camp under the stars, a road trip like no other. Run2Paris.

The route will cover various terrains across the 4 days. Mainly road running but there are also large sections on trails and some off road.

The event starts at the iconic Wimbledon Tennis Club in South London.
Teams will gather to register and receive their safety briefing. A chance for everyone to get together and discuss tactics for the epic adventure ahead.
Teams will gather together alongside the iconic Wimbledon Tennis Club, the excitement will be palpable with the road stretching out ahead of the runners. Runner 1 takes the baton and the event is underway.
For runners 2-5 it’s time to hit the road and head to the first change over. There is no rush, each leg is roughly a half marathon distance and runner 2 needs to be ready at the changeover point to take the baton. You've plenty of time to find a great local cafe or spend an hour exploring the local area. As the team head towards the coast, runner 3 and then 4 take over, by the time runner 5 is chewing up the miles the team head to the day 1 finish line where everything is set up and waiting for your arrival. With a hot meal in your belly and perhaps an isotonic beer or two to keep you hydrated (for the non drivers) it is time to head to the ferry terminal for the first nights' camping. Not under the stars but on the floor of the overnight ferry to France.
The teams start the day early and head to the startline of day 2. There will be a little weariness but the route is short, fast and flat. It is time to motor but don't forget to look around - the route is stunning, past chateaux, cafes and fields. Each leg is roughly 10K so with the early start you will be at basecamp just after lunch. Your tent will be there waiting for you and a lovely afternoon nap too.
Now there is a chance to put your feet up and relax for a few hours. Dinner is in the beautiful village hall just a short walk away and with massage, a gentle yoga stretching session and some delicious local food you will be fit and raring to go on day 3.
The Queen Stage. Tough and long with stunning scenery. Reaching the campsite tonight will feel fantastic.
The finish line is in sight - the final push. The team reunites at the Trocadero. You don’t come this far and finish alone. All 5 of you cover the last mile together, finishing under the Eiffel Tower. You have just Run2Paris. Imagine how that feels.
The team has hired a local bar to celebrate our achievements but once you cross that finish line it is up to you.
Turn around and head back straight away or enjoy the sights and sounds of the French Capital for a couple of extra nights.
You have a ticket for a return ferry from Dieppe to Newhaven booked for Monday morning but this could be changed. Driving home is going to highlight just how far you have run.
Access to the campsite will be available from 15:00 on each day and pack down will commence at 08:00.
Utterly achievable, utterly remarkable, you and your team will be treated to the best event experience imaginable. With camping (tents provided), breakfast and dinner to sustain you and return ferry all included in your registration fee, you can concentrate on the important stuff.
Your place in Run2Paris will raise vital funds to support two fantastic charity partners, Parkinson’s UK and SSAFA.
Covering the miles, enjoying the trip and raising money for two fantastic causes. This event is raising money for Parkinson’s UK and SSAFA. The net income will be split equally between the two charities and you could not be supporting two more important organisations.
The whole team must register in person the evening before. You will collect your participant number, receive a full safety briefing and get ready to start.
