Curated by runners, for runners, and spectated by all, On Track Nights aim to strip away the stiffness of traditional track meets, transforming them into immersive sensory experiences that merge high-performance racing with vibrant local culture.
Athletes will compete on the iconic track at Stade Émile Anthoine – set directly against the backdrop of the Eiffel Tower – fully illuminated for evening racing and surrounded by interactive lighting, sound design, and immersive installations. Developed hand-in-hand with local community and cultural trailblazers, the event is deeply rooted in Paris’ contemporary running and creative scenes.
Serving as the event’s Performance Curator, acclaimed running retailer and community hub DISTANCE has masterminded the official run of show. Under their direction, the night will feature an explosive lineup of racing formats: local community runners will battle it out in team time-trials, high-octane heats, and fierce finals. Adding an elite edge to the amateur field, individual 1000m races will be paced directly by On pro athletes, featuring standout talent including Yeman Crippa, Fabien Palcau, Nicolas Navarro, Alexandra Burghardt, Smilla Kolbe and Gesa Krause.
To bridge the worlds of sport and nightlife, Paris-based creative studio LIKE FIRE steps in as Entertainment Curator. Orchestrating the event’s artistic direction, music integration, and cultural activations, Like Fire has assembled a heavyweight musical lineup to soundtrack the night.
In partnership with Rinse France, the sonic programming features a stacked roster of underground artists who will step into the booth with their all stars DJ teams including ICYKOF (Rave Nuit), Cezaire (Roche Musique) and Mayou Picchu (Very Disco), culminating in a headline set by the legendary Teki Latex. Together, they will deliver a high-energy auditory experience designed to fuse the pulse of running culture with Parisian nightlife.
