Courir pour toit: a solidarity race to help the homeless in the Bois de Boulogne

For a bit of sport and a good deed at the same time, Courir pour Toit is coming to the Bois de Boulogne for the first time on Sunday, March 9, 2025. Usually a connected version, the race will be held in person, to raise awareness of the end of the winter break and the plight of homeless people, on the initiative of the Toit à Moi association, which helps them to change their lives. There are three ways to take part in this solidarity race: a timed 10km, or a 5km run or walk, for an event accessible to all.

All funds raised will be donated to the Toit à Moi association, to support the sustainable reintegration of people living on the margins of society, providing them with housing and practical support. Before and after this morning of collective effort and music in the Parisian park, you can enjoy warm-up and stretching sessions, a relaxation area, refreshments and on-site catering, as well as a personalized photocall.

At the origin of this race, a connected challenge organized since 2021 proposes to create teams and mobilize from March 7 to 31, date of the end of the winter truce in France and the return of rental evictions. In addition to the Paris event, the challenge will take place all over France, with a single goal: to cover as many kilometers as possible to earn points, whether by bike or on foot!
