Our previous editions were fantastic! In 2025, we welcomed 270 enthusiastic runners and 25 dedicated volunteers. Our team is excited to announce the 5th edition this September in a new location at Glenmore Reservoir! We are so excited! 

Race Options: 5k (Run or Walk) & 10k Run: Open to all adults and teenagers aged 12 and above. A special fun run just for kids aged 4 - 10 (of course, parents can run next to their kids at no additional cost).

La French Run 5k/10k takes you on a beautiful journey in this beautiful park. As a special treat, after crossing the finish line, participants can relish in a tasting and degustation of authentic French pastries. Truly an "Oh là là!" experience!

While September 2026 might seem a while away, it's the perfect time to challenge yourself. Set your fitness goals with La French Run and start your preparations now! 
*Runners are not allowed to run with a stroller or a dog.
