What?
Almost an half marathon but not a race, mainly a nice day in France for a couple: la Twin Santé ® is a non-timed event open to all runners and walkers in teams of two for the whole the course of 21 km. Very challenging 50km and 80km (single) races are available as well.

Where?
In Paris, starting from the Domaine National de Saint-Cloud (RER C + T2 from Paris) to the Eiffel Tower, taking in 200 metres of ascent. The event crosses the towns of Sèvres, Meudon and Issy-les-Moulineaux before reaching the capital of France.

When?
Usually the last weekend of March.

Why?
OK, this is not the main running event in Paris in spring: the Paris marathon (www.parismarathon.com) and semi-marathon de Paris (www.semideparis.com) attract thousands of runners from around the world and registrations close month in advance. This is not even the main running event on the day, shadowed by the Trail de Paris Ile de France, a challenging 80km cross-country race with the finishing line on the first level of the Eiffel Tower (and no elevator). But it's an amazing run that promotes the practise of running in natural surroundings (70% on paths and tracks). Add a free breakfast before leaving the Domaine National de Saint-Cloud and a hot meal at the end. And the quite unusual rule that you have to run in pair for the entire (very eco-friendly) challenge.
