Paname Run Club

The motto at Paname Run Club is run, dance & repeat. The club, founded in 2022 by Paul Grandjean, now brings together over 4,500 runners. It's a growing group of friends, always fueled by a spirit of kindness. The idea behind the club is to make friends while doing something that makes us feel good: running. Paname Run Club therefore offers two major weekly meetups. The first takes place every Tuesday with the MarDisco Run – which often ends (very) happily on the dance floor – and the second happens on Sundays, featuring longer runs followed by a delicious reward at the end. These are events open to everyone, of course, accommodating all levels with three paces offered for each run.

Circle Run Club

Technical clothing brand – made in Europe from recycled materials – Circle also organizes its Run Club in Paris. A more responsible running experience that aims to promote good habits, all with support for all levels and coaching open to everyone. The meeting point? The Circle Shop, located on rue de Marseille in the 10th. Runners meet every Tuesday at 7 PM to push their limits and share their passion, all in a motivating and welcoming atmosphere. What's on the agenda? A 50-minute to 1-hour endurance session, including dynamic warm-ups, technical drills, intervals, or threshold sessions, followed by a cool-down.

Hoka Run Club

A shoe brand loved by runners, Hoka also organizes weekly meet-ups in Paris for running enthusiasts. What's on the agenda? Two sessions a week! One on Monday, starting from the Marais store, and another on Wednesday, departing from the store at Opéra. The runs kick off at 7 PM for 45 minutes of running before enjoying some tasty snacks in the store. And of course, there's a friendly goal: for each run, two groups are formed based on the desired pace to work on. The idea? To build active endurance, learning to regulate and ease into a target speed!

Marais Running Club 

The Marais Running Club – or MRC for friends – aims to share energy and experiences in a small, close-knit group. It's an intimate club that encourages friendly gatherings. As the name suggests, the club originates from the Parisian neighborhood of Marais, but now it’s branching out here and there for events that bring people together. In short, it’s a club that stands out from the rest, yet with the same mission: to place running at the heart of the project, helping Parisians to indulge their passion as a community.

Kiin Paris Run Club

Born in 2020 – initially organized as a post-lockdown meetup among friends – Kiin quickly grew into a vibrant community of runners, happy to gather regularly to train together. The promise? Mutual support, inclusivity, and of course, the joy of running. A club that brings people together, right in the heart of the streets of Paris, meeting every Wednesday (at 7 PM) and every Sunday (at 9 AM) at the Peloton Café in the 4th arrondissement.

Team Trail Paris

In another vibe, the Team Trail Paris (TTP) is a club better suited for active hikers who want to find their little group in Paris. Founded in 2014, the association now brings together nearly 300 runners who meet up for training sessions, races, workshops, and other friendly events. On the training side, a team of volunteer coaches – most of whom are trained in running guidance – will accompany you on each run. Three meetups are organized each week, in a park or stadium, as well as a longer outing once a month to trail run in the Paris region. The club is open to all levels; however, a minimum is required: being able to run for 50 minutes.

10 km/h.
