Kings, queens, princesses and knights will arrive at Versailles by the RER C, the L, N and U trains or by car, this Sunday. For a historical reconstruction? No, they come running. This Sunday, the paths of the Palace of Versailles will host the royal race (15 km), the princess race (8 km) where many runners will be disguised. Just like participants of the royal march (8 km). We hear you Star Wars fans who would like an imperial march.
The little extra Running at the Palace of Versaillesin addition to the setting which amazed spectators and television viewers during the Olympic and Paralympic Games for the horse riding events, the children’s race. Or rather “the” because there is a 2 km and a 400 m for the little ones. Called the knights’ race, this last one reserved for 4-10 year olds promises to be the most costumed. The races “contribute to the restoration of the castle gardens” in particular the planting of trees or the restoration of statues.
For those who want to discover the paths of the Palace of Versailles in short strides, the 2024 edition is complete. You will have to wait a year.
