The 10K Montmartre AG2R LA MONDIALE is one of Paris’ newest and most distinctive road races, offering runners a rare opportunity to experience the historic streets of Montmartre on a fully closed-road course. Organized by Amaury Sport Organisation (A.S.O.), the same internationally renowned company behind the Schneider Electric Marathon de Paris and the Tour de France, the event combines elite race organization with one of Europe’s most iconic urban settings. Participants weave through the charming cobblestone streets, artistic squares, and famous climbs of the 18th arrondissement, passing many of the neighborhood’s best-known landmarks while taking on a challenging elevation profile that sets it apart from traditional flat city 10Ks.
Although relatively new on the international running calendar, the race has quickly established itself as the opening highlight of the Paris running season. Beginning and finishing in the heart of Montmartre, runners are immersed in the district’s unique atmosphere, with lively cafés, historic architecture, panoramic viewpoints, and enthusiastic local spectators creating a memorable race-day experience. The route rewards participants with spectacular views over Paris while presenting a demanding but rewarding challenge thanks to the area’s famous hills. Whether runners are chasing a personal best, preparing for a spring marathon, or simply looking for an unforgettable destination race, the 10K Montmartre offers a unique blend of sporting challenge, Parisian culture, and world-class event organization.
