Relay for the SPA 2026 (Second edition)

Relais de la SPA 2026 is a charity running event organised by the Société Protectrice des Animaux (La SPA). The event (Relais de la SPA) brings together fundraising and running on Sunday 31 May 2026 at the protected Domaine national de Saint-Cloud, a 460-hectare site offering forested trails and panoramic views over Paris. Participants choose from three formats — a 10 km individual race, a 2x5 km team relay and a 5 km canicross — and are asked to meet the stated fundraising targets to support SPA shelters.

The event day opens from 08:00 with a grand village on site (village open 08:00–14:00) featuring information stands, workshops, demonstrations, a concert and food trucks. Registrations close on 18 May 2026 and fundraising collections must be completed by 26 May 2026; donations are tax-deductible (66% deduction as stated). The Relais de la SPA emphasises solidarity with animals while offering a varied natural course that includes forest sections and some elevation; the canicross format has limited places.
