The Vredestein 20km de Paris was back in Paris this Sunday, October 13, 2024. Under beautiful sunshine and pleasant temperatures for an October month, more than 25,000 runners set off from the foot of the Eiffel Tower, for a beautiful circus-themed race, for this 45th edition. Trocadéro, Arc de Triomphe, Grand Palais, Concorde, Palais du Louvre - the day's athletes were lucky enough to pass some of the capital's most beautiful landmarks!
The champion of the day was Ethiopian Mekonen Hayimro Yele, who won the men's race in a final sprint against Frenchman Yann Schrub, who came in just three seconds behind. In the women's race, France's Manon Trapp came out on top: a fine first place for France in just 1h04 and 44 seconds, the second fastest time in the event's history!
The day before, children were able to run too, thanks to the 20 Kids de Paris, in support of the Petits Princes Association, and this morning, from 9am, amateur runners also took to the start line of this not-to-be-missed Parisian race. Well done to all today's finishers!
