Saturday, March 16, 2024 will go down in the history of the EcoTrail Paris with the closing of its 17th edition, marked by record participation. More than 14,500 runners crossed the start lines of the 5 trails and two Nordic walks, making this sporting event an unprecedented success.
The EcoTrail Paris offers a varied range of events, catering for experienced runners as well as beginners and the curious. Since its creation in 2008, the organizers' aim has been to attract as wide an audience as possible. With this in mind, a 10 km course was introduced in 2020, with the first edition taking place in 2021, with the aim of rejuvenating the profile of participants and introducing younger runners to trail running. The success of this strategy is evident, with the average age of participants now around 39, and the proportion of women steadily increasing year on year.
The race, which ended on the second floor of the Eiffel Tower - a fitting, but not without its difficulties - continues to attract growing crowds, attesting to its undeniable appeal within the running community, but also to its deep commitment to environmental preservation.
An eco-responsible 2024 edition
The EcoTrail Paris 2024 once again stood out for its eco-responsible approach, voluntarily limiting the number of participants to reduce its carbon footprint. This decision underlines the organizers' commitment to reconciling a passion for sport with respect for the environment, offering a unique experience for discovering Paris and the Île-de-France region.
