Foulées Etampoises

Jolie Foulée is a witty and influential running crew based in Paris, France, founded by a group of five friends: Benjamin, Idris, Jérémie, Julie, and Lionel. Their name, meaning "Pretty Stride," is the perfect ironic banner for their philosophy: running is a way to surpass oneself, but it's best experienced with a "second degree of bad faith"—a charming, self-deprecating humor. More than just a crew, they are major voices in the running culture through their popular podcast, dedicated to the idea of combining festive and sporting practices.

Golden Blocks is a powerful social project and running community in Paris, France, that uses athletics as a tool for integration and empowerment. With a history of community involvement dating back to 2014, the organization was formally founded in September 2019 by a team including Boro, former top athlete Matthieu, and the French track and field legend, 110-meter hurdles World Champion Ladji Doucouré. Their core mission is to bring athletics to the heart of neighborhoods, revealing young talent through unique "battles." They have since expanded to include a weekly "Street Runners" group, coached by Ladji himself, which is open to a wider audience.

Founded in June 2020 by Maria, Kiin Run Club has grown into a close-knit community of around 50 runners in Paris who embrace movement and connection beyond mere exercise. Starting with just a few gym acquaintances, the crew now welcomes runners of all paces and backgrounds, celebrating running as “The Art of Movement” and coining “Sexy Pace” for slower groups to ensure inclusivity. Meeting twice weekly at Le Pelotón Café, members explore Paris’s iconic streets and parks together, sharing routes that highlight the city’s beauty and history. More than just weekly runs, Kiin fosters friendships and confidence, supporting milestones like half marathons where nearly 30 members recently crossed the finish line. Rooted in mutual respect and shared progress, Kiin Run Club embodies the spirit of Paris’s vibrant running culture, offering newcomers and locals alike a welcoming tribe that moves as one through the city’s dynamic energy and timeless charm.
