The event in a few words
The Sacré-Coeur with the beautiful colors of a May sunrise ? 🌇 Can you picture it ? 👀
This is what the Holy Games - Paris Churches Tour offers you for the 3rd consecutive year ! 😉 But this time the forecourt will be reserved for runners, atop the hill with the best view of Paris! 😍 It's a real dive into the history of France that the event offers 📖. The race will lead you to discover 10 iconic churches of the capital 🗼. Unique, isn't it ? ❤️
Sainte-Jeanne-de-Chantal ⛪, Notre-Dame d'Auteuil, the Russian Greek Catholic Church of the Trinity, the Saint-Étienne Cathedral, the Saint-Pierre de Chaillot church, Saint-Philippe-du-Roule, La Trinité, Saint Jean de Montmartre and lastly the Sacré-Cœur de Montmartre ✨. Ten churches for 10 km of excitement, with a start also at midcourse for the 5 km walk, from Saint-Pierre de Chaillot. Because it is already a victory for some to walk 5 km ! 🚶➡️The event aims to bring together the most dedicated athletes and also those who, for the first time, will give it their all ! 💪 For example in a joëlette, with a guide for the blind, in short, this race is for everyone, even for the most fragile… 🫶
And to ensure you end your weekend on a high 😇, visit the rest of the capital! 😜 You cannot miss the Eiffel Tower, this iconic monument with the Champ-de-Mars below 🤩. If you went too quickly past the churches and parishes you encountered during your route, you can always go back and visit them at your leisure 😌.
And that's not all... major surprises 🎉 will be revealed, and a few very special guests will share the adventure with you! So, curious to know who it is? 🫢
