The Royal Roads of Saint-Denis

Join the Voies Royales de Saint-Denis, a unique series of races taking place over the course of a single day.

The Voies Royales de Saint-Denis Races

The Voies Royales take place at venues that were open to the public during the Olympic Games in Seine-Saint-Denis. The exact route will be announced later this year.

The announced sites to be crossed are Saint-Denis Basilica, the Olympic Aquatic Center (CAO)... the finish will be on the new pavement in the heart of the Stade de France.

The Voie Royale is a running race held in Saint-Denis, starting and finishing at the Stade de France. The races offered include an international 10 km, a 5 km (timed), and a 5 km leisurely run. Registration is required for all races; some require a medical certificate.
