Children's Races

WHAT IS THE MARATHOON’S?

As part of Run In Lyon, races for the youngest participants are also held in the lead-up to the main event.
The goal? To introduce kids to running and raise awareness about sports in general by offering them a chance to be part of the running celebration in their own way. 🏃🏃‍♀️

CHILDREN'S REFUELING STATION

Children also deserve their refreshments! No matter the distance they run, a snack will be waiting for them at the finish line. This year, children will be able to stay hydrated while respecting the environment. Make sure to pack a water bottle or reusable cup in your child's bag — a hydration point will be available to fill their container.
⚠️ Important: No cups will be provided by the organizers, so don't forget to bring a reusable container.
