La Parisienne: a unique concept

La Parisienne: a running event for ladies through the heart of Paris. You can walk or run the 7 km route. There is also a 10 km route for runners. The start takes place at le pont d'léna, at the foot of the Eiffel Tower. The route takes the ladies past the Champ de Mars, the banks of the Seine, Place de la Concorde, the Grand Palais and many other iconic monuments of the capital. The event has a unique concept. Women, sport, health and well-being are in the spotlight. The whole festival weekend is dedicated to raising people’s awareness of the benefits of sport and the idea of a healthy body in a healthy mind. Experience comes before performance. And that is also noticeable along the course: more than 1,000 musicians line the route to accompany participants swinging to the finish line.

An annual theme to create your own medals

La Parisienne chooses an appealing theme every year. The organisation invites participants to dress up and awards a trophy for the best-dressed participant. Of course, the design of the medal also takes into account the annual theme. In consultation with PROM'ES, it is absolutely possible to create your own medals.

The theme of edition 2022: The roaring twenties

The decade following World War I are known as ‘the roaring twenties’. A turbulent period with many social and cultural changes. And a period of liberation and fun after the hardships of war. One of the symbols of these years was the so-called ‘flapper girl’: the young free-spirited woman, opting for a short boyish hairstyle and participating to the fullest in the new urban entertainment culture and disregarding traditional social conventions. The ‘flapper girl’ adorns the medal. The organisation chose large open elements and colouring in yellow, white and blue. Create your own medals!

The theme of edition 2023: The eighties

The 1980s were a time of change and innovation. Music, too, was changing a lot with new technologies, on which the unique medal design was inspired, and new electronic music. The quirky and colourful clothing style of the eighties offered runners and walkers plenty of opportunities to dress up!

The theme of edition 2024: Flower power

After the eighties, we return to the sixties in 2024: flower power. A theme that takes participants back to the era of the hippies. In other words, peace-loving and colourful people, in harmony with nature. How else could this be translated into the medal design than with cheerful yellow, pink, orange and red flowers?

What is a ladies run?

A Ladies Run is a running event especially for ladies. The exact format of the event varies from one organisation to another. For example, there are Ladies Runs for charity. At the NÖ Frauenlauf, women raise money for breast cancer research by participating in the running event. Other Ladies Runs focus on making the sport accessible to this specific target group. Ladies can then register for a 5 km or 10 km, where the aim is mainly to finish the distance. These Ladies Runs are often part of a running event with multiple distances like a half marathon and a marathon. Ladies Runs like La Parisienne and the Österreichischer Frauenlauf aim to raise awareness about health topics among women.
