The Route

Pound the pavements of the French capital’s most famous avenues and plazas.

Starting on the famous Champs Elysées, you’ll race towards the Place de la Concorde. Then, from the Rue de Rivoli, you’ll sweep through the Opéra Garnier and pass the Place de la Bastille. After a glimpse of greenery in the Bois de Vincennes, views of Notre Dame and the Eiffel Tower point the way home. As you approach the finish line, you’ll have a breathtaking view of the Arc de Triomphe – a fitting finale to your epic journey.

Why should you put on your running shoes for Helen & Douglas House?

Helen & Douglas House has been caring for local terminally ill children and their families since 1982. We help children and their families at our hospice, at home and in hospital with respite stays, pain relief, symptom management, end-of-life care and bereavement support.

We rely on the generosity of the public to keep our doors open, with voluntary donations from individuals making up a large portion of the funding we need to run the hospice service.

Your participation in our fundraising events makes a real difference to us and will transform the lives of the children and families we support.
