🏃 Running group in Paris
Start a running group in ParisParis has about 624 parks within 5 km of the centre, listed on OpenStreetMap: good options for a first meetup.
How to start one
A social running group is about turning up together, not speed. Choose a flat, lit loop around 5 km in a park or along a path, so slower runners can cut it short and faster ones can add a lap. Meet at the same place and time each week; consistency is what builds a group. Agree that nobody gets left behind: regroup at turns or run out-and-back. Mention whether it is a talking pace or a training session. Ask people to bring water and wear something bright in the dark. A coffee afterwards is often what turns runners into friends.
